Did you have the hotmail account created before you downloaded the program? Are you trying to add an account now?
During the beta, an invitation is required for each account you want to add to Windows Live Mail Desktop.
If you've already joined the beta, and want to add/configure a second account: 1. Go to http://ideas.live.com and find the Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta box. 2. Click "Get Updates". 3. Enter the name of your secondary Hotmail account and click Submit. Please Note: There are account and server-side dependencies which will affect how quickly we can convert your account and issue you an invitation. It may take SEVEN DAYS OR MORE to get your secondary account invitation. -- Jim Pickering, MVP, Outlook Express https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=F9F51EF1-4AE3-4D23-B2D8-1171988A62D6 Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped.
