I've been able to send and receive email messages without problems since I started using Windows Live Mail over a year ago.  However, when trying to send one message a couple days ago, the send message task failed and I received an error message saying it was unable to send this one specific email message because "the setting for your outgoing email [SMTP] server might need to be configured."  "Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC79".   No changes have been made to any of my previous settings, including server authentication.  I'm able to send & receive all other messages.  This message errors out every time I send/receive mail.  How can I remove this error message and/or stop trying to send this email message when I send/receive messages?

When creating/editing Tasks, it takes about five to ten minutes before the changes show up in the task window. Please help. This has just started happening today. Before, things were working fine. 
l have windows live messenger ver. 2011.  when l am away from my computer and get a instant message, l am unable to open it.  It shows up on the bottom task bar that l have one, but when l click on it, only a blank window opens up.  Can you help me with this.  l have reinstalled the program 2 times with the same results.

After about 5 minutes of use windows live messenger freezes. I can't even close the windows. I also noticed that in the task manager the memory for messenger spikes up. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it still has a problem. It was working fine yesterday, then today it just stopped. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Every time I try to access Live Messenger, it is locking up my computer.  It worked fine until the last few minutes.  The same problem is occurring with everybody else I know on the system.  When I pull it up in the task list, it is pulling more and more memory and not responding.
The AppleScript method provided by Microsoft (Create Task from Message) has stopped working for me.  Any advise to resolve?

for several days now, both on my laptop at home and on other peoples machines, elsewhere in the area, i have found it almost impossible to use hotmail. It seems that every time i try to carry out a task, whether it is opening an email or sending one, i lose connection with hotmail-- including losing the email i have just typed. sometimes i get a very small window of opportunity and i think "maybe its fixed now" and as soon as  i do that the connectivity goes again.
I have carried out all the suggestions i have seen in the forum for clearing and cleaning the machine and its history, i have signed in using various browsersand nothing has restored hotmail to its previously trouble free performance.
is this a local issue ? it cannot be merely my laptop as it has happened on other machines i have tried.or is it possible that my account is corrupted in some way ?

i would rather keep the account that i have for a range of reasons but is this loss of connectivity going ot be a constant problem from now on?
i have just remembered something which may be relevant. i have btinternet plus security and a recent mcaffee update made it impossible for me to get onto the internet. so the internet plus security had to be uninstalled ( i still have the Mcaffee though) . this problem with hotmail seems to have started round about that time. might there be a link do  you think?
When it is time for a new task to display on office reminders, it will not show up unless I shut down or restart my Mac.

I have a similar problem, often when I have woken my MacBook Pro up from sleep, and I have to quit Office Reminders and restart it to get all Reminders to show. 

This is one of many rather crucial shortcomings I have experienced with Office Reminders, I have found it  fundamentally unreliable as a reminder tool and therefore of very little use.  I'd appreciate any suggestions for an alternative that works properly.


I have a lot of information on an Excel list that I would like to upload as individual tasks to my Outlook. 
How can I upload this file to Outlook?

Thanks!!
