Also, amend required changes under the Windows Live Mail ID to receive/transmit mails from or to the desired mail server. For non-POP3 accounts add a folder under the left navigation bar and perform changes under the Options tab followed by More Options and then Manage Rules. Messages that are sent directly to the address of your other email account will be received by this folder.
