try not using windows live, but setting it up as a pop account.
use these settings -
in the beginning, for the email address, leave off the .com. just username@hotmail
your name - what ever you want people to see when you email them
account display name - identifying name of the account on your device
incoming mail server - pop3.live.com
account type - pop3
user name - your full email address, example
username@hotmail.com
password - your password
check the box to save password
outgoing server - smtp.live.com
check the box for outgoing requires authentication
check the box for use the same username and password for sending
under advanced server setting, check both boxes for require ssl on incoming and outgoing and your connection should be the internet
next thru setting the user-defined fields until finished
