Why doesWindows Live persistently state that it cannot find the host at the e-mail service I regularly use; also why am I unable to send or reply to email?

Hello, Everyone--

Though Windows Live Mail has my photo and correct name, recently

whenever I attempted to logon with the password I was using for years,

I constantly was sent an "Incorrect Password" response!

So I created a new password.

BUT when my *** Email address is removed for privacy *** floats up,

and I click in my newly created password, I get the same "incorrect" feedback.

I am pasting in right here what happens when I try to send or receive mail :

Unable to send or receive messages for the Live (marlem388) account.

Subject 'And Now What?'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x80048849

The host '*** Email address is removed for privacy ***' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly.

Subject 'weird'

Server: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0D

Protocol: SMTP

Port: 25

Secure(SSL): No

Socket Error: 11003

HOWEVER, according to my default email account with att.net,

my SMTP Server/Port Port (Outbound att.net) is 465--NOT 25!

My POP server/ Inbound att.net is 995.

There my SSL shows YES.

--And my Protocol Type is POP3.

Can some technically proficient person figure this out, please?

Thank you for your consideration,

Mara L. Cunningham
