Windows Live Questions?

[army685]

I have alot of qs that need to be answered! I have been having problems with my windows live. everything works on it. my messenger contacts show up, it signs in ok. But my email does not work at all cannot view my msn email at all. when i try to sync. this message pops up FAILED TO SYNCHRONIZE INBOX. THE SERVER DIDNT RESPOND. thats the message that pops up. I have downloaded the WLM 1400 download and it does not work at all. what should I do? what does this all mean?

ALSO...... I tried to set up a new folder thinking that would work and now im not sure what certain terms mean? what does incoming mail server mean? and outgoing (smtp) mail server mean?
