I find the current instructions so easy and reliable that I cannot
understand how someone with your, Lennart, experience could not
succeed to set up email in Emacs on Windows.

It worked for me 5 seconds after I installed Emacs on Windows for the
first time, as soon as I've set 3 variables (smtpmail-smtp-server,
smtpmail-smtp-service, and smtpmail-auth-credentials).
