I need to create a new email using @live.com.  I went through the process (Options/Email Accounts/Add/Email Account) and then I entered my information which included an email address of "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***", password of "starter", Remember this password was checked and I left the following two boxes (default email and manually configure) empty.  I clicked on "Next" and received the screen "Your email account was added" with a big green check mark beside "*** Email address is removed for privacy *** was added".  I then clicked on "Finish".  The Accounts screen now shows Live (starter) account amongst the others I already had.  I clicked on "Close"

After a moment, I received the message box, "Please enter your user name and password for the following server:  Under that was:

Server:          https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/sync.aspx;

 User Name:  *** Email address is removed for privacy ***;

 Password:    *******. 

 I checked the Remember Password check box and clicked on "OK".  The same message box came back except it was blank in the Password box.  I added the password "starter" and checked the Remember Password check box and clicked on "OK" again.

I then received a message box which said, "Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks.  Please review the list of errors below for more details." However the Errors tab was blank (no list of errors) and the Tasks tab indicated that the "Check for new messages on Live (starter)" was cancelled.

I cannot get this email account to work.  I already have one @live.com email account but a new one is required for a job I am pursuing.

Note:  I have actually tried several email addresses (within @live.com) and the same problems occur.

What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to get a new @live.com email to work?

Thank you for your help!!!!!
