Default Cannot connect to 'Windows Mail'


I've made Windows Mail my standard mail application and my ....@live.de my
default address. When installing a user account I entered <pop.live.com> as
POP3 and <smtp.live.com> as server addresses (correct, or do I have to enter
my isp servers?).

I get the foolowing eror:
Konto: 'pop.live.com', Server: 'pop.live.com', Protokoll: POP3,
Serverantwort: '-ERR Cannot connect to POP server 65.55.206.154
(65.55.206.154:110), connect error 10060', Port: 110, Secure (SSL): Nein,
Serverfehler: 0x800CCC90, Fehlernummer: 0x800CCC90

Or is that firewall or else?

Thanks a lot for your help!!

Macello

"Live" accounts are the same as Hotmail accounts (webmail), and can't be
accessed with Windows Mail.
Unless you are one of the few that pays for POP access.

You can use the newer Windows Live Mail to access Hotmail and .Live
accounts.
