Options > New Acct:

Email Address: xxx@liveFAKE.com
Password (use correct password)
> Next

Your Name: what you want receiver of email to see and can be anything
Acct Display Name: displayed on your device icon, can be whatever you want
> Next

Mail Server: POP3.live.com
User Name: USE CORRECT EMAIL ADDRESS
Password: Use correct password
> Next

Outgoing server: SMTP.live.com
check outgoing server requires authentication
> Next

send/receive schedule
> Done

Good Luck. If it works, hit the thanks. If not...
I was able to get hotmail to set up this way. I am still having trouble with it though. I got the ring alert a few times. While I have been testing it out it has hung up several times. I had to do the soft reset about 3 times in the last few hours. The sync with email has been sporatic. I may just give up and return this for a Blackberry Storm like my husband has.
