Setting up an email account in Windows Live Mail

The first time you open Windows Live Mail after installation, the 
new email account setup wizard should open automatically, ready to 
collect and test your email account information.


Windows Live Mail only requires three fields of information to try 
to automatically setup an email account for you:

Enter your email account information
Enter your full email address in the first field ("E-mail address"). 

With the second field ("Password"), Windows Live Mail requests your 
email account's password to be able to connect to your mail server. 
Windows Live Mail will by default remember your email account 
password; you can opt to supply it every time by unchecking the 
"Remember password" checkbox.


The last field, "Display Name", determines what Windows Live Mail will 
show as sender's name to people you email from it. The display name can 
be your real name or not: it does not have to match your email address 
or its user name.


The "Manually configure server settings for e-mail account" checkbox is 
unchecked by default, and Windows Live Mail will attempt to configure your 
email account automatically. It is worth letting Windows Live Mail give it 
a try, it could save you a couple minutes.

Click the Next button.

Configure your email account settings in Windows Live Mail
If you chose to manually configure your server settings, or 
if Windows Live Mail was unable to automatically detect them, 
you will be presented with a second screen to collect your 
mail server information and authentication method:

Incoming Server Information

The top portion of Windows Live Mail's email account setup 
screen, "Incoming Server Information", collects the information 
needed to receive emails from your mail server.

Start by choosing In the "My incoming mail server is a "POP3" server
Type mail.hei.net in the incoming server field

In the field Login ID (if different from e-mail address)
Type in your full e-mail address.  yourusername@hei.net

Type mail.hei.net in the outgoing server field

Check the last 2 check boxes at the bottom of the screen where
it says: 
"This server requires a secure connection (SSL)"
"My outgoing server requires authentication"
Change the outgoing server port from 25 to 465

Click next

Click in the box that says "Set this account as the default mail account"
