Windows Live Mail Help
-
Note that I have never used Windows Live Mail and Google has loaded me with millions of hits that turn out to be Windows Mail as opposed to Windows Live Mail. One of my jobs tomorrow is for a customer that is unable to send emails from Windows Live Mail but is able to receive. The job description also mentions unable to get an SSL connection but the last 3 weeks I have been working through this company has proven that the Help Desk is not able to give a decent description of what I am heading into. I know I will get on site and see and error message that will give me the answer, but just in case it isn't that straight forward I'm looking for some advanced help. Anyone have any experience with or links to supporting Windows Live Mail configuration or using problems?
Michael Martin Australia "I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash One Fine Saturday. 24/04/2004

If the customer is unable to send, but is able to receive; a) SMTP authentication may have flipped and needs to be re-enabled b) the password used by the authentication may have changed c) the wrong port may be assigned d) the firewall may be blocking the necessary smtp port. https://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/894/How+can+I+configure+email+in+Windows+Live+Mail%3F#gs[^]

This may be a bit late, but outside of an actual network issue such as a blocked port the connection details for live servers are; Incoming Server: pop3.live.com Outgoing Server: smtp.live.com Incoming Port (POP3): 995 Outgoing Port (SMTP): 587 Make sure that "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" and "This server requires an encrypted conection" is ticked. Encryption type: TLS

Encryption type: TLSThanks, found all this while on site. She had ports 110 and 25, turned out I needed port 465 for SMTP.
