Configure Windows Mail for Hotmail or MSN email account

[Xeusion]

Is this possible? If yes, please somebody tell me the procedure for Configuring Windows Mail for Hotmail or MSN email account.
Thank you in advance.

You cannot. Download and install windows Live mail. It is a superior program and can do what you want to do.

If it is possible in windows live mail, what exactly I will need to do for that?

If you will try to configure Windows Mail to retrieve your e-mail messages from services such as Windows Live Hotmail or MSN Mail, you will always receive the following error message:

Windows Mail no longer supports the HTTP servers used by Hotmail and other web-based e-mail providers.

That's because, for reasons known only by Microsoft, HTTP forwarding is no longer supported in Windows Mail. You can retrieve your e-mail messages only if you use their newest e-mail client called Windows Live Mail.

1. First, download and install Windows Live Mail. Then launch it and look for the 'Add an e-mail account' button.
   
   
2. Now complete the fields in it with your personal information.
   
   
3. After you have filled all your personal information, click on Next. In the next window check the box that says 'Set this account as the default mail account'.
   
   

This is all there is to it. Now Windows Live Mail will automatically download all your e-mail messages.
