My Windows Live Mail stopped sending emails that are very time sensitive.  I worked at length with my ISP techs and they were unable to get a resolution.

My windows Live mail has now stopped receiving any email updates from the server.  I have sent 'test' messages from my email account to myself and they arrive shortly after on my iphone email inbox but they do NOT arrive in my desktop email inbox.  When I hit 'send/receive' on my desktop email, I receive errors such as:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Shaw (mwdouglas) account. Windows Live Mail couldn't log on to the email server using secure password authentication. Contact your email provider and verify that it supports secure password authentication. To change this logon setting, in the folder list, right-click on the account name, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu. In the Properties dialog, click the Servers tab, and then under Incoming Mail Server, select a logon option.

Server Error: 0x800CCC90

Server Response: -ERR invalid command

Server: 'shawmail.cg.shawcable.net'

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC18

Protocol: POP3

Port: 110

Secure(SSL): No


My desktop Windows Live Mail has ceased to update receiving any emails and more often than not, when I click on 'send/receive', it will start and then say 'windows live mail has stopped responding'.

I am in urgent need of my Windows Live Mail working reliably and properly immediately.

Please help!
