Can't send email from window mail

[Gary VanderMolen]

Since the problem is now occurring on three computers, don't even
bother with Thunderbird. It almost definitely is an outside-caused issue,
probably your ISP. To test that theory, you can get a free Gmail account
(go to http://gmail.com ), configure it for POP access:

Then set that account up in Windows Mail:

Since it uses a different SMTP server, that will prove whether or not
the culprit is your ISP's SMTP server.

 

[ES6678]

Unable to send or receive messages for the live.com account. The connection
to the server has failed.

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: POP3
Port: 110
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10060

That's a receive error. You didn't include a send error. For receiving,
you have the wrong server name, wrong port, and wrong SSL option.

For sending, use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server.
