Open Windows Live Mail and click Add e-mail account:
Enter the e-mail address and password you were given (or have set up in the main control panel)

your own name (e.g. John Smith) or your company name (e.g. JS Fabrications Ltd) or a combination of both
(e.g. John Smith (JS Fabrications)) and should be entered with capital letters and spaces where appropriate.
Ensure that you tick the Manually configure server settings ... option
Click Next
