Assuming you are referring to Windows Mail, not Windows LIVE Mail, and you
want to access your name.TakeThisOut@live.com account in Windows Mail...
Use the Configuration Settings on this page:
http://mailcall.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!CC9301187A51FE33!49799.entry
NB: Set Outgoing server (SMTP) to Port 587, not Port 25!
Windows Mail's new account wizard is hard-coded to reject name.TakeThisOut@hotmail.com
and name.TakeThisOut@msn.com addresses. When you enter your email address during setup,
use a dummy one (e.g., name.TakeThisOut@notmail.com). After you've finished, go back
and change the email address to the correct one.
