Office Live

[Jeff]

I have followed the instruction in Office Live to set up my email in outlook.
The only problem is that I have Windows Mail. I can receive messages but it
will not allow me to send them. Help!

Not sure what you're referring to, "Office Live" (there is an "Office Live
Workspace" product but it is for storing documents for remote access) but if
you're indicating you have a Live.com email address, try these settings:

Live.com Settings:

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 but generally recommended): "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.

What error message do you get?
Right-click on it, select Copy, then paste it into a reply.

You want to start that again. Makes no sense what you posted. Are you using Windows
Mail or Outlook or what are you trying to say or ask

What does "will not allow me to send them" mean? Is it threatening you?
Do you get an error message when you try to send? If so,
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.
