Question about Outlook Express

I have a BT Internet account and have had no problem sending and receiving email on my PC using Windows Mail (NOT WINDOWS LIVE MAIL) until 22 December. My settings were Outgoing SMTP 25 SSL not enabled. Incoming POP3 110 SSL not enabled. I spoke with BT who said change settings to Outgoing SMTP 465 SSL enabled and Incoming POP3 995 SSL enabled.

With original settings my error messages are.............

The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.

Help would be appreciated! Thanks

Hi,

I recently updated to windows 10, and have installed windows essentials 2012. However, when I go to use it, my login request is just declined and a text box appears saying "sorry there was a problem signing in". I have checked my login details, and they work on my Hotmail account, but just not on windows essentials. I am specifically trying to use movie maker.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I replaced the Hard drive with a ssd. I used Acronis True Image to clone the hard drive on my HP pavilion dv7t laptop.

There is nothing wrong with my old drive accept it is slow compared to the ssd.

The system boots and seems to work accept when I try to start Windows Live Mail I get the error about corrupted calendar

and Windows live mail must exit. Then I get a window that says windows live mail was installed incorrectly or you are out of memory.

I tried another account on the system that never would of used Windows live mail and it fails the same.

I created a new account and it also fails the same way.

I removed windows live mail 2011 and installed 2012. I did the repair and it says all is clean but I still get the same error on old and new test account.

The only other symptom that is different is when I log into secure accounts that want to verify this laptop, I get a message you have never logged in from this source and they send a text to verify.

I put the old hard drive back in the system and windows live mail runs ok and secure sites recognize this laptop like normal.

I did the clone instead of a backup and restore because and issue with the HP Pavilion and ssd drive was not recognized

during boot.

It is like I have a different system and maybe something is up with licensing with the ssd drive instead of old drive.
