Setting up Email on Windows Live Mail
To configure your Windows Live Mail for email, please follow these steps:

• Your Name
Enter your name, your nick name, or your company’s name depending on how you want to be displayed when you sent an email.

Enter your e-mail address (in the example we are creating an email account for an imaginary email: yourName@yourDomain.com).

Your incoming server is yourDomain.com, where yourDomain.com is the name of your domain.
