In installing Windows Live Mail 2012 on Windows 8.1, I, with my mind elsewhere, did not put in the correct addresses for my email server. I cannot find out where to go to make the corrections.  I have uninstalled Windows Live Mail and then reinstalled it hoping I could then make the corrections, but it installs with the errors. Therefore, I cannot send or receive emails in Windows Live Mail.  Help, please. It was a stupid error on my part.

Below is the message I receive.

Unable to send or receive messages for the Sbcglobal (smiths1951) account. The host '*** Email address is removed for privacy ***' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly.
