You have entered an email address for a server name - that server name needs
to be the pop server for your email account.

According to www.mts.net your servers need to be configured as:

POP: pop.mts.net
SMTP: smtp.mts.net

Here is a link for configuring Outlook Express that should be similar to how
you need to set things up in Windows Mail. <http://tinyurl.com/3arbp6>

You have used your email address as the server name.

Use something like pop.mts.net and smtp.mts.net for
incoming and outgoing servers respectively.
