Receiving both comcast.net and gmail.com email accounts through Windows Live Mail and suddenly there is a yellow alert in the taskbar of my WLM

window and an error window telling me 

An unknown error has occurred.

Subject 'before I pack my calendar'
Server: 'smtp.gmail.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0B
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 465
Secure(SSL): Yes

This is not allowing me to send mail!

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 5720...( 64 bit)

Internet Explorer 9

Windows 7 Home Premium,  SP1

Please tell me how to fix this without spending anything more than I already have,  and keeping tech jargon understandable,  please?

Thanks in advance

Skype upgraded itself to latest version 6.0.73.126 in windows 8 and in the process removed messenger and advised to have im from Skype. fine. but messenger was also giving email alert of emails in outlook.com. now that messenger is uninstalled I am not able to get email alerts at all or access outlook,com directly by clickin on messenger. messenger also remembered my username and password and when I click on the inbox, I was landing in outlook.com. but now that messenger is not there, I have to open internet explorer, enter in webaddress Hotmail.com or outlook.com and when it opens the username page, I have to enter username and password, every time I want to check my email. can Microsoft help me/advise me with better technique. I don't use im so im from Skype is not of much use to me. messenger was very useful for (1) getting email alerts and (2) quickly access outlook.com without entering username and password. is it possible to reinstall messenger?

For months now, I hardly get mails delivered into my hotmail account . Senders into the hotmail alert me on phone that they have sent mails into the account but on accessing it , i dont see any mail. This is most painful as it is normally notified to the sender that he/her mail has been sent only for my account not to see  and subsequently deliver it.

I shall be happy if you can resolve this issue as am known by many with that account.

 

 

Worried chap.

I am getting a Shut Down alert regarding my Hotmail account from *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. It says that microsoft will shut down my Hotmail account because it has

a virus. So I have to give them my Hotmail info and password to prevent a Shut down. Is this a legitimate alert?
