Hi there .....I am unable to send emails from Windows Live Mail (but I am receiving them). I get this error message:

A TCP/IP error occurred while trying to connect to the server.

Subject 'Re: '
Server: 'smtp.clear.net.nz'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC15
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No

I have checked with my ISP and all the account set up details are correct. They say it must be "a software problem".

I have hundreds of emails in my Inbox/Sent Items and I don't really want to risk losing them by uninstalling WLM (or having to store them somewhere else).

Are there any other potential solutions to my problem ?
