I am trying to transition my email with indy.rr.com into the windows mail. Help!

My computer automatically installed Internet Explorer 11 then my Windows live wouldn't send/receive.  I uninstalled IE 11 and installed IE 9, but my email is still not working and gives me the following error message.  What should I do?

 

To send and receive messages in your Hotmail account, go to http://hotmail.live.com on the Web, or try again later. To get help from Windows Live Customer Support, go to http://support.live.com and click Windows Live Mail in the list of services.

Subject 'test'

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8DE20003

I DOWNLOAD MSE FOR MY WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM SER PAK 2 BUT, IT FAILED TO INSTALL AND MY NEW WINDOWS UPDATES ALSO FAIL TO INSTALL.
Having just got back from holiday, I seem to have lost the ability to send emails from my live mail account. It shows that I am working off line and there seems to br no method of getting back on line. I can still receive emails or so it appears but I can not send. Has anyone got any suggestions that would help.

I sent an audio file that is too large. I cannot open my email to delete it in the outbox. When I click the icon the only thing that comes up is the dialog box that shows the progress bar (which is barely moving). How can I stop this program? And, if I uninstall and reinstall the Windows live mail will I lose all of my folders?

I was also wondering if there is access to windows live mail through a server.

Please help, this has been going on for 2 days.

I've just upgraded to Windows 8 from Windows Home Basic. At present I can't access my live mail address and retrieve E-mails even after trying to negotiate compatibility. I am also experiencing difficulty in accessing my old Word Document files (.doc) as none of the available apps give me full use. Is there a program (that doesn't cost, I find that very questionable, that I should upgrade to 8 and then be expected to buy various items that were on my previous Home Basic) Suggestions, please?

I've been getting the following message when I try to send messages:
The connection to the server has failed.

Subject 'Outstanding Invoice'
Server: 'relais.videotron.ca'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10061

Note: This problem only happened today. I did not make changes to my computer. The first time it happened today, I rebooted and the message was sent. I've tried rebooting again, but this time the messages stay in the Outbox with the above error message appearing.

Checking my WLM Email/Options/Send/HTML Settings/Encode text using:

I see None; Quoted Printable; & Base 64.

I haven't a clue what this all means, or what settings I should have, or if this can cause issues, or what -

Can you steer me in the right direction?
