Cannot receive or send e-mail since yesterday 09-18-2013 from Windows Live Mail

19. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

I've been using windows live mail for accesing my accounts in my PC (WIN 7) and my Laptop (WIN XP)

I configure my WLM for accesing several hotmail. gmail and yahoo accounts and always worked fine until yesterday in both my PC and Laptop. 

Since yesterday 09-18-2013 WLM still works fine with all of the others accounts (some of them are hotmail account)  except for one of hotmail.com account. I have not changed anything and WLM always asks for a password authentification in spite of the fact that the password is set up. I can access that  hotmail account from internet and everything looks fine ( i.e. my password is correctly set up).

Apparently the problem is that hotmail.com does not authenticate the passwork of that especific account when trying to accees from WLM since yesterday.

Thanks for any help

How do I back up my storage folders in Windows Live Mail

19. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,
My computer requires a new hard drive.  I had to do this a couple of years ago also and when I re-installed my Live Mail, I could not locate my storage folders on my backup system. Please help.  Please speak in lay terms as I am a complete idiot when it comes to this.

Charter IMAP server not responding

19. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
I am running Windows Live Mail 2011 using Windows 8.  I have NONE of these problems running Windows Live Mail on my computer that uses Windows 7!!! I think these problems must all be related to Windows 8. And I don't know why Live Mail 2011 came with this new laptop, given that it is several years old and there is a newer version out there.

50% of the time, I get these messages when I sign in to look at my emails:

Checking for messages on Charter.


Your IMAP server has not responded in 60 seconds. Would you like to wait another 60 seconds for the server to respond?

 

Some errors occurred while processing the list of tasks. Please review the list of error below for more details. But there is NO list of errors below!


I usually then use a different mail program connected to my Charter IP. Then, at a later point, when I go back into Windows Live Mail one of two things happen. Either my emails finally download the way they are supposed to, or just the headers download and when I go into an email, there is no content to it. Sometimes the program indicates I have say 45 emails, but they do not appear in the In box! Then I have to go into Accounts and click Download Emails. Once I had to wait 3 entire days before the emails came in. I usually have no trouble sending emails, although sometimes I cannot even do that. I get a message that says the mail program cannot cannot to the server.


ANY advice anyone can give me would be helpful. I think my frustration is so high at this point that I am going to start using gmail in hopes that I will not have these problems.

Transfer emails to Windows Live

19. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , ,
I've used Virgin Media email for 4+ years, and gmail for nearly 2 years. I have recently left Virgin broadband and they have told me I would lose access to my stored emails after 60/90 days. I would like to transfer these to a USB hard drive and have told I need a program like Windows Live to do this. I have been trying to link my gmail account to Windows Live without success - frankly I've forgotten how to do it! I have checked in setting/forwarding & POP/IMAP that POP and IMAP are enabled. I'm getting error messages 0x800CCC0D and 0x800CCC92. Most of the solutions seem to involve downloading software which scans your computer and tells you there are hundreds of errors etc.; which I don't trust. Can someone point me to a set of instructions which will walk me through the setup of linking my gmail to Windows Live Mail? Thanks in advance.

Outlook.com Certificate Error

18. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

Hi,

 

In the last two days I have had continuous problems accessing Microsoft websites. IE informs me that the certificate has expired and thus content is being hidden. In addition Windows Live Mail has stopped syncing with my three outlook.com accounts.

 

I haven't changed anything on my accounts the only thing that has happened is Windows Update has updated.

 

My Windows Phone is unaffected and can access email perfectly.


Any ideas what has happened?

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E

18. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,
On September 13th, 2013 my system installed scheduled Windows7 Updates.  From that point on I can neither "send" nor "receive" email. 

The error message in it's entirety is:

The connection to the server has failed.

Subject 'xoxoxoxo'
Server: 'smtp.verizon.net'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 465
Secure(SSL): Yes
Socket Error: 10060

I CAN send and receive mail by way of webmail at verizon.net.

I contacted Verizon Tech Support.  I was told to change my Incoming Server from "incoming.verizon.net" to "pop.verizon.net".
I was told to change my Outgoing Server from "outgoing.verizon.net" to "smtp.verizon.net"

After changing the server IDs there was no difference.

Verizon switched the Outgoing Port a long time ago from 25 to 465.
My Incoming Port is 995.
The Outgoing Port is checked to "My server requires authentication" and "Uses the same settings as the Incoming Server".
Both Ports are checked to "This Server requires a secure connection (SSL)"

After 50 minutes on the phone with remote control of my system, I was told the problem was not on their end and was told to go to the web and see if I could find an answer there.

I have run Norton Utilities and cleaned and compacted my Registry.

I have uninstalled all Windows Essentials including Windows Live Mail.
I have downloaded and reinstalled Windows Live Mail.

I have followed all the instructions in the replies to various community messages.
 
I am still unable to Send or Receive email.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

my windows live mail starts to open but just hangs there saying "starting".

I tried to repair it in control panel to no avail.

 

I was going to uninstall and reinstall but I am afraid I will loose contacts and emails.

 

I can right click on Icon on bottom right side of page and send emails but cant see my inbox or other folders.

 

Can I create a back up before I uninstall.

 

Any ideas at all wouldd be helpful.

Windows live mail 2012 does not recognize category email addresses

18. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

Error message: "Message cannot be sent. Enter an email address in the To;, CC;,or Bcc field". Cannot roll back to Windows Essentials 2011 even after uninstalling version 2012. Error msg: "Unable to install due to 'some canvas error problem......" Have found no solution in the MS community. MS does not support its add-on products. When is MS going to fix this bug?
