Not Receiving Emails

[weesa22]

I linked my live.com account to Windows Mail and can send emails, but can't
recieve emails. Here is the error I receive when I click send/recieve.

Account: 'POP3.LIVE.com', Server: 'POP3.LIVE.COM', Protocol: POP3, Server
Response: '-ERR command not implemented', Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server
Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Compare your Configuration Settings to those here:

If you anti-virus application is configured to scan incoming/outgoing mail,
disable it.

Go to Tools, Accounts, select that mail account, Properties, Servers.
Uncheck the box for "Log on using Secure Password Authentication."
Very few mail servers support that option.
