Right-click on the account name in the folder pane and select Properties.

  • On the Servers tab, ensure that My server requires authentication is selected
  • On the Advanced tab, change the outgoing mail port to 587.
    Deselect This server requires a secure connection.

 

Click Work offline and remove any unsent messages from the outbox (below the account folders in the folder pane).

 

Close down Windows Live Mail and wait a few minutes before re-launching. Then compose a new test message and send it to yourself. Post any new error message in your reply.

 

 


This is the error that I still get after making all of the changes you've indicated. FYI, I am trying to send email from a free hotel WiFi connection. I can receive email, but not send any out using Windows Live Mail. Thanks for your help.

 

The connection to the server has failed.

when printing email, folder pane stays and is printed . It also only prints first page, but often no clear. overprints This is visible on print preview, not just when it is printed.

Hotmail was fine until they forced this outlook on us.

Hi, I am using Windows Live Mail Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3555.0308). One of (at least) my folders is suddenly missing. How do I search for and recover the missing folder? I don't have an option 'Folder Pane'.
