Hotmail works a little differently to most mailbox accounts. When you go through the setup wizard, instead of selecting the default POP3 choose HTTP and then choose Hotmail. You'll notice you can then skip the incoming and outgoing mail fields.
However, most of the other mailbox accounts should be configured using the following information. "Incoming" is the POP3 server while "outgoing" is the SMTP server. Note that while you can use the outgoing servers listed here, ideally you should use the outgoing server provided by your local internet service provider, such as Comcast, Bellsouth, etc (see additional list below).
