Not sure what you mean by "Microsoft office email." I don't
recognize that as the name of any email program. Did you mean
Windows Mail?
If your MSN account is a paid one, use the settings given by
Rumpelstiltskin. If it is a free account, use these settings:

Use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server.
To give you a bit of history, Windows Mail doesn't support HTTP mail,
which for a long time was the only allowed access method for free
Hotmail/MSN accounts. Also, since Windows Mail development was
frozen in July 2006, it is not aware that Microsoft enabled POP access
for free Hotmail/Live/MSN accounts in Feb. 2009. Consequently, the
Windows Mail account setup wizard is hard-coded to reject Hotmail
and MSN addresses.To get around that limitation, when you enter your
Hotmail/MSN email address initially, use a fake domain, such as
. After the account setup is complete, you can go back
into the settings and correct your email address.
