I am able to receive emails but unable to send any emails, with or without pictures. I have Win 7 and windows live mail 2012. I get the following pop up :

Delete the photo email, create a new one, and try to send it again.

Server: 'smtp.east.cox.net'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8CCCD052
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25

I use Windows Live Mail to retrieve and send emails from a number of email accounts, and out of the blue this morning I am unable to start a new email. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail.

Seems I can send up to 2 pics and then if I send more, this error prevents me from sending 3 or more. This problem just started to occur and before this I could send many pics at a clip. How can this be fixed?

Hi

I've recently got a new computer, with Windows 8 and I’m using Windows Live Mail 2012. On my old computer I was using Outlook Express (with XP). In OE when I did a REPLY then there wasn't anything about choosing "Plain Text" or html. Now - as you know - there is this choice.

If I choose Plain Text then (obviously!) I can't use a personalised font. But if I choose html [remember this is in a REPLY] then EVERYTHING changes to my personal default font. Bleh. This happens to be Book Antiqua (!) and it looks very wrong to have everything in this font. 

What I'd like would be to have what Outlook Express allowed, that is using my own font while leaving previous fonts unchanged. 

What I do now, btw, is to change all the old stuff to Calibri, but that's a pain, and also it doesn’t have the advantage of making different people's previous messages stand out as different – as well as simply being polite.
 
I don’t want to use Outlook, btw. I don’t need all the stuff it offers; I chose Live Mail because it’s the closest to Outlook Express (RIP).

If you have a workaround, that'd be great to know about. But if you don't please can you TELL MICROSOFT that they need to make this possible again (along with all the other things we're all moaning about! :) ).

Thanks.

I am trying to access my mails in hotmail via the microsoft outlook.  It worked fine initially.  Now it is not recognizing the mails are not downloaded.  It is continuously giving error "80041004".

I was accessing my mail via the windows live mail, which was working excellent.  Now I am not able to run the windows live mail.  I tried to reinstall it, but it would not open.  Will I be able to restore my contacts in the windows live mail?  Also I used to send mails from my addressbook about 500 mails (approved by msn).  Will I be able to send such mails from microsoft outlook?

If I install windows live mail now, will it clash with microsoft outlook. Now it is working fine with my gmail and another account.
