My live mail stopped working at the end of Feb. My ISP is Verizon. The symptoms were as follows. The program would say downloading, but nothing would happen for a few minutes. Then it would download. After a few days of this, I couldn't send or receive at all (error 0x800CCC0F). A few days later it worked fine in the morning at 8am. At 11am it stopped working again. Now it doesn't work at all. I still get mail from my AOL account. My Verizon web mail works fine. I installed live mail on a new machine with my Verizon email address. Same thing happens, no emails and same code. I installed outlook on the first computer. I got the same results. I contacted Verizon. They took control of my computer. They checked all the account settings. Everything was correct. I've used live mail with Verizon for 5 years and never had a problem. They are telling me it's a Microsoft problem and they can't do anything. I am running Win 7 Ultimate. Any help would be appreciated.
I was wondering if this situation has anything to do with Verizon purchasing AOL and its 2million customers. Maybe they fiddled with their servers. (Just a thought)
