Sending and recieving emails

[Travis R Hytche]

I have tried several times to send an email but I keep getting this error:

"The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account:
'pop3.live.com', Server: 'smtp.live.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E"

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.

Wrong settings. Follow the settings given here:

Use port 587 rather than port 25 for the SMTP server, and note that the
SSL option is required to be enabled.
