I have TB installed on my desktop. I have installed it on my laptop. I was able to setup my Frontier mail account on the laptop, but I can't get my hotmail setup. I have tried to do it automatically on the laptop. But it fails. I've tried to use the settings I can see on the pc and do it manually, but I can't get the settings correct somehow and that fails also. My email client on the PC is outlook 2010. It is the same on the laptop. Thank you.

I was able to get it installed. Embarrassing, I had used the wrong password. Sorry to bother you.
