Windows live mail, created new account, emails not coming thru

I created a new live email address the other day, the message I sent to test it a few times did not go thru. I clicked on the configure server which will read windows live mail, I didn't need to enter smpt or pop or do I?

when I click on accounts it is there, will say windows is sync the acct, still nothing, deleted the acct, re entered today, still nothing

it seems every time I add a new live address this happens, I know I am doing something wrong

thanks
