Not even in the ballpark.
Use the Configuration Settings on this page:
http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!49799.entry
NB: Set Outgoing server (SMTP) to Port 587, not Port 25!
Windows Mail's new account wizard is hard-coded to reject na...@hotmail.com
and na...@msn.com addresses. When you enter your email address during setup,
use a dummy one (e.g., na...@notmail.com). After you've finished, go back
and change the email address to the correct one.
