Transfer multiple email accounts from windows live to outlook.

Hi - As I operated my 4 email accounts through windows live - it seems I now have to operate with Outlook 2010. I have set that up, my main account (Hotmail) was instantly transferred for me - and my main account from another host (xtra.co.nz) also managed to get accepted and working after I added it manually. NOW comes the problem ; I have one other Hotmail account and another xtra.co.nz account - that I wish to add. I followed exactly the same steps with the xtra.co.nz account - it shows that the server has been located, tick, but when it comes to 'sending a confirmation email to the address' - it always fails/times out.
Trying to add the additional Hotmail isn't working either, as I am constantly being asked for the password which I know is correct/unchanged. Any tips / ideas, or is outlook 2010 limited to only 2 accounts ?  This is a home computer, I am able to access the accounts through other 'sign in' avenues, but would prefer to have them all together under outlook if possible.
