Error Message-Email-0X800CCC0F

[Gary VanderMolen]

This error message is quite different.
The original error message reflected using SSL on port 25.
This one reflects using no SSL on port 587.

There are two possible reasons why you are getting this
second error message:
1) Wavecable.com may not support port 587.
2) The corporate connection you are using has a firewall that blocks
port 587.

Based on some testing I did just now, the first possibility is true.

Hi Gary, I still get the message:

The connection to the server has failed.

Subject 'test'
Server: 'mail.wavecable.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 587
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10061

It appears that it is getting hooked up on sending my out mail. The in mail
comes in fine. I do not have either SSL on in or out mail checked. On the
servers tab I have:
POP3
mail.wavecable.com
mail.wavecable.com
log on using clear text authentication

Please help!!

Microsoft Security Essentials doesn't have an email scanning
module, so there is nothing to turn off.

I too got that message:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', Server: 'pop.att.yahoo.com',
Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

I am not seeing any fixes??? Can someone help me?

The error "unexpectedly terminated" is usually caused by interference
from an antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running? Some of
them cause problems with Windows Mail over time. As a minimum,
email scanning in the antivirus should be turned off, although that may
not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects. In a worst case scenario,
your antivirus may need to be uninstalled/reinstalled or replaced.

Email scanning in any antivirus should be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

As an alternative to replacing your antivirus, consider upgrading to
Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects from
overly intrusive antivirus programs:
