I have Windows Live Mail on a Windows 8.1 computer that suddenly won't send or receive. The actual error message follows
Unable to send or receive messages for the Sbcglobal (rpnic3) account. The email server returned an error.
Server Error: 0x800CCC90
Server Response: -ERR Cannot connect to POP server 98.138.12.111 (98.138.12.111:110), NB connect error 1460

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC90

My web mail works fine. My other computer with Windows Live Mail also works fine. Settings on both computers appear the same. I removed and added my email account to no avail.
Thanks for your help
There are two users at home but one computer, with Windows Live Mail installed.
Even when I sign off and close the program, my daughter sins in with her address and password but sees my inbox and all my folders instead of hers.
What should we do?
I use Windows Live Mail for all of my email needs. IE is my default browser. Up until the last update I was having no difficulty and then all of a sudden the work off line tab is stuck on on and I am unable to send or receive mail using Windows Live mail. I checked, Work off line is not checked in IE. I looked up all comments on this subject and have done everything, including deleting the email account and re-opening it. Since I have changed nothing prior to this occurring I can't help but think it happened with the update. How can I resolve this issue so I can go back to using Windows live Mail.
Thank you
Hello.
I am using Windows Live Mail 2011 - Build 15.4.3555.0308, Windows version 7 Home Premium service pack 1.
Like many other posts that I have read, one day all my personal email folders had disappeared. I have tried suggestions from the Forum, including the one suggesting ALT M with / but the 'Layout' option didn't materialise.
I'm really out of ideas now. Has anyone got a possible answer please? I've tried to give as much information as I can about my software etc at the top of this submission.
Thank you.

I am running Windows 8.1 with Windows Live Mail as my desktop e-mail client. What should the ideal default encoding setting be so that there’s no need to constantly change the setting to be able to make some messages fully readable.
Currently my default setting is Windows European (Windows) but frequently, unless I change the encoding to Unicode UTF-7 or Unicode UTF-8 or Windows European (ISO), the text is embedded here and there with some funny symbols which I find most annoying. Is there anyway to avoid this. Even if I have any one of the other encoding as the default, the same thing happens. I only receive e-mails from U.S.A. and U.K. addresses in English, so what could be the problem?
And as regards message fonts, why is it that whenever messages are printed, the size of the font on the printed text is quite small and different. For example, on my old computer running Windows XP with Outlook Express, if the text font of the same message is say ARIAL, 12pt, then it prints as such and appears as such on the screen. But on my new computer running Windows 8.1 with Windows Live Mail, whenever I print messages written say with CALIBRI 14pt font. the size of the font of the text is extremely small and hardly resembling the CALIBRI font. On the screen, however, the text is correctly displayed as on my old computer.
Is there an explanation and how can this be rectified? All responses would be appreciated.
Hello,
I recently got a new Windows 8.1 system, but needed an eMail client that was compatible with my ISP's mail servers. Windows Live Mail was the recommended solution. I have been using Outlook Express 6, so Live Mail is fairly close... but I've already run into several things that are rather serious disadvantages for me under Live Mail:
- The spelling checker does nothing. (It is on the toolbar, but always grayed out. I even set the option to always check spelling before sending messages, but it still does nothing). How do I get the spelling checker to work?
- I cannot find how to request read receipts for specific sent messages. Is this read receipt function available in Live Mail, and if so, how do I access it? (The only options I found only allow the request of read receipts for ALL sent messages, but I only want to do them on some messages).
- Each Email account has its own separate set of folders (Inbox, Sent, Junk, etc.). I prefer to have the messages from all accounts go into one common set of folders - like they do in Outlook Express 6. How can I set this up?
- Can the Junk Mail folders be eliminated and have all messages come into the Inbox(s) instead? If so, how?
- When I reply to messages, it always applies the eAddress of my default eMail account as the return address - instead of applying the eAddress of the account that the message came in on. How can I make it automatically use the account that the message was sent to? (Outlook Express 6 did this automatically).
TIA...
I'm trying to import Windows Mail from a Vista computer into a customers Windows Live Mail on a Windows 7 machine. The import goes just fine, but when I look in the imported folder at her messages, no text appears in the body or subject of the email. It's
like this for every single email.
Is there something I'm missing to do? I've tried the export option from Windows Mail, and I've even went to the root folder of Windows Mail and copied the folders that way to import and I'm still faced with the same outcome.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I have windows 7 64. I am using Microsoft Security Essentials.
And Malwarebytes was added about a month ago.
But since I loaded windows live mail into this new system back in May 2013... I can only email out on the default email account.
The four other email accounts can't send out mail.
ATT gave me their webpage help...but was no help.
Where do you think my problem is?
I have checked it all with a fine tooth comb.
All email properties settings seem correct.

What I cant find is the 'Home tab' I live in Austria and have German installed on my PC which is no problem, What I want is the Name for Home tab in German. Or better still the equivalent German help file.- Open Windows Live Mail by clicking the Start button
. In the search box, type Mail, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Live Mail. On the Home tab, click Junk, and then click Safety options.
Click the Security tab, and then, under Virus protection, clear the check box next to Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus, and then click OK.
Thanks Colin
