Windows Li ve Mail Password problem and question

[#1]

So I'm trying to set up an email account and after I set it up, I continually get the Password box.. I followed the in house agent instructions and dont understand why I keep getting the box (oh and no mail is received or sent). 

Also, do I have to set up the account with Verizon first or can I just do it in windows live mail?

Thanks

yeah, you have to activate first.  so go to http://activatemyfios.verizon.net   and do the activation.   it will let you make a user name and a password.
