I Need Windows 8 Help?

I bought a new desktop yesterday and am in the process of setting it up. It came with Windows 8. I'm trying to access the MAIL app so I can link it to my Roadrunner email. I enter my rr email address but it says it's not valid (WTF?) I thought maybe I never really set up a Microsoft account so I try to do that and once again it says my email is not available. My email is formatted like this example JohnDoe@Columbus.rr.com and it's one I've used for 10+ years.

I use Windows Live Mail 2011 on my laptop and that works just fine. I read where this MAIL app in Win8 is the same as Windows Live Mail. If so then why doesn't it work?

Update:

Don't you hate it when people try to solve your problem without reading fully? Going to Mail.live.com does me nothing if I DOESN'T ACCEPT MY EMAIL ADDRESS!!
