First, to J W Stuart,

My sincere apology for your having misunderstood the tender of my commentary at my earlier posting.  I definitely did not intend sarcasm as to having stated my understanding of the program.  Just a choice of the wrong wording at a stressful moment.

I have followed advice and successfully downloaded Windows Live Mail (hereinafter "WLM").  However,I am  currently at the screen to input an email address and Microsoft account password. The problem is, the address of which of my email accounts?  I inserted the email address I have with Microsoft.com and it is not accepted.

Moreover, in creating an email address for WLM, what is the abbreviation of same, the latter? Or, might I construe a connection between WLM and Hotmail? Is this the answer I am seeking?  Heretofore, I had presumed they are two separate entities.  I tried creating a new email address specifically for WLM; alas, not the answer..  I have searched the Web, asked specifics, but must have missed something on-point, because I am "lost in translation." (smile)

Further assistance would be most welcome.
