Hi there!

Following messages appear:

The host 'POP3' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly.
Account: 'POP3', Server: 'POP3', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D
The host 'SMTP' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly.

Wrong server names, both POP and SMTP.
EX. my ISP is cogeco, and my in-coming server name is pop.cogeco.ca, and my
out-going is smtp.cogeco.ca
Who is your Internet service Provider ?

Live.com ????

Server names and ports:
POP3 = pop3.live.com Port = 995
SMTP = smtp.live.com Port = 587

Checkboxes you need to check include:
Server Tab: "My server requires authentication" (Click "Settings" button
also and fill in "Log on Using" email address - but do NOT check the
checkboxes there . . . .)
Advanced Tab: BOTH outgoing and incoming - "This server requires a secure
connection (SSL)"
General Tab (if desired): "Include this account when receiving mail or
synchronizing"

Should work - if you get errors post the entire error message (cut-n-paste)
for further assistance.

No, most likely it is not the same. You are using Yahoo, Nellie is using
hotmail.
Start a new thread for yourself, copy and paste the entire error message (
verbatim ), and post it.

Right-click on your error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.
