Windows Live Mail FAQ
Hi.
Windows mail has been working fine up to today.
I got an error message when trying to send message which was 0x800CCC78.
I had not changed any settings / passwords etc and hadn't had this occur before.
Since then, now Windows live mail isnt connecting to receive emails either.
I can send & receive directly through Optus Web Mail.
Any ideas?
Thanks
<Windows 7>
Since yesterday, 1/12, I have not been able to send email (no replies, no forwarding, no new messages go out); however, I am still getting messages. Anytime I try to send a message, it goes to my Outbox and stays there until I delete it.
With a message in my Outbox, when I try to send/receive email, I get the folowing error:
The conection to the server has failed
Subject 'testing my outgoing mail'
Server: 'smpt.comcast.net'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMPT, Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10013
I got my last Microsoft updates on 01/09/2013, but I was still able to send messages on 01/11/2013; so I don't think this problem is due to updates.
When I log on to my email account on the comcast website, I am able to send messages from there.
I tried changing the port number to 587, which was a suggested possible solution, but this did not help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It only affects outgoing mail. when i try to send the error message comes up. I have deleted all outging mail that was stuck but error still continues.

For the past two days and intermittently last week i have been recieiving this message when i try to access my e-mail, My messenger works fine and tells me i have new mail and when i try to open my hotmail through windows live mail i get the following error message,
Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail (roadshark60) account.

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x80072EFF
Also on occassion it will download some of the e-mails and some come through ok where as some others that do make it to my inbox will get the error message of,
Message could not be displayed
Windows Live Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again.
Now i have checked my memory useage as suggested on one of your previous pages and it seems to be fine and as well my other non hotmail e-mail accounts still work perfectly. I have also done a complete system care sweep which includes a registry clean up as well as deleting the temp internet files, fixing shortcut errors and many other functions to keep my computer running smooth and clean. ( i use advanced system care 5 ) I have also tried rebooting my computer as well and the same problem still persists.
Since my hotmail seems to not be working at this point in time. If you could send a copy of your reply to my alternate address of (removed for security reasons) it would be appreciated so i can see what the problem is and or if the problem is with my machine or the server or on the internet itself.
Thank you for your time and effort in helping with this problem.
I cannot receive or send email from my account. This is the error message I keep getting. I have tried to repair to no avail and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Essentials program. It's still giving me the same error message.
Help please???
Thank you
