Comcast: Windows Live Mail not sending

03. March 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: Comcast, Windows Live Mail

Please use the instructions on this page to apply Comcast's recommended settings: To reconfigure your Windows Live Mail client to use SSL instead of port 25

Having done so, click Work offline and remove any unsent messages from the outbox (below the account folders in the folder pane). Then close down WLMail and wait a few minutes before re-launching. Compose a new test message and send it to yourself. Post any new error message in your reply.

I am having this same problem but have tried your suggestions of changing port 25 and get this message:

The connection to the server has failed.

Subject 'test'

Server: 'smtp.comcast.net'

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E

Protocol: SMTP

Port: 465

Secure(SSL): Yes

Socket Error: 10060

I am using Windows Live Mail 2012 and Windows 7. Several months ago I was notified and tried to change ports but it didn't work and I set things back to defaults, including port 25. It has worked fine until yesterday when my outgoing stopped working. I receive e-mail and it only works if I use port 110 not secure. It does not work using 995 secure.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

I can only receive but not send e-mail via Windows Live Mail to my comcast account. What happened?

I can only receive but not send e-mail via Windows Live Mail to my comcast account. What happened? Everything works fine from the Comcast website. Comcast tells me that this is a problem on Microsoft's end. I have been away from this windows 7 computer for a while, but everything had been working fine when I left.

Unable to send with Comcast

Jenuwynn or anyone else: I have the same problem as Mark_M, posted on October 24, 2012. Mine started three days ago. Up until that time everything was working perfectly. I have Windows 7 on my computer and am using Windows Live Mail which goes through the Comcast isp server. I can receive email on my computer but I cannot send or reply to emails.

Server: smtp.comcast.net

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCCOE

Protocol: SMTP

Port: 25;

Secure (SSL): No

Socket Error: 10013. Note that everything is as in the above attached quote except the Socket Error number. I have tried everything I can think of with no positive result. I can only send or reply to emails by going to the Comcast Website and doing it there.

Can you help me? JohnMorrowMI

error message 17199 Office 2011 for Mac

23. February 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: Comcast, error message, Geek Squad, the message, unknown error

I tried (& failed) to send a message with many attachments. I deleted the message, but the outbox still show 1 message (no message showing). I receive message "An unknown error occurred" every time send/receive occurs. How do I get rid of? I have called Geek Squad and Comcast and they could not solve. I use G-mail, not comcast e-address.

Help me get my hotmail account unlocked!

My email account klcv@msn was locked. Microsoft On line safety team thinks that someone just kept typing her email address in error. May have had a very close email. If I have answered all the security questions and nothing seems wrong then why not give me my account back? I've had this emaila address since 1998. I cannot lose all my email because someone at microsoft is just being unrealistic. Not giving my account back has caused me to have to use my husbands email as the contact email and to use my Comcast account,. To date I have not received a valid reason to keep this account locked.

How should I set up the Windows Live Mail to be my main e-mail services?

Hi, I used outexpress as my e-mail services after I change to new PC, the OS is windows 7 now. It does not have outexpress, so I have to use Windows Live Mail to be my main e-mail services now. It could receive mail but could not send. After I asked comcast services people, they told me to change the POP3 to "995" and SMTP "465", now it is not working at all. I do not know what to do?

How to backup hotmail/outlook.com email messages

15. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: com, Comcast, email messages, forwarding, microsoft, Outlook, phone, support, support phone number

Very disappointed with Hotmail... Recently lost over 10 yrs of emails -- logged in after a long time of inactivity (messages were forwarding to a Comcast account I check daily), and my account was completely empty with just a "Getting started..." email from Hotmail. Restoring deleted does not help. Additionally, can't find a support phone number, and may have called a fraudulent/phishing scam company by mistake, trying to fix this. ( They offered to sell me security products for my hotmail account?!) Changed all passwords from a different machine, and Microsoft has now pushed my account into Outlook.com. So my questions are:

Can I talk directly to an official Microsoft support specialist?

Can I get back the emails that were lost?

If I've been hacked, can I secure the account?

Can I backup a 2nd related/associated hotmail account (also has more than 10yrs of messages, still intact so far), then close both accounts? (Will need to update all personal accounts on other sites first that use either address as my login...)

Thank you.

Outlook not sending.

2011 for Mac- getting error notice that the program can't send email due to server issue. Same server info in iphone sends with no problem. Comcast refuses to help. I've un-installed & re-installed the program but it didn't help.
Outlook receives email with no problems.

Any ideas here?
Thanks for any help.

Recover info from deleted account?

09. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: answer, Comcast, luck, mail, outgoing mail, ports, Recover, way

Comcast sent a note to change ports on outgoing mail. During the process with them, I accidentally deleted my account from Windows Live. I set up a new account (using all the same info), but none of the saved emails that were saved in the folders I had survived. Is there a way to retrieve them? I tried using a system restore with no luck. I suspect the answer is no, but I thought I would try. I am using Live Mail 2011 and Windows 7. Any help is greatly appreciated.

P.S. I'm not sure if this is the right forum.

In window Live my E-mail account cancelld with comcast. Now trying to set-up e-mail with ATT.net. Not working.

23. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: Comcast, error, error message, incoming mail, mail, pop, port, server problems, Windows

I've been with wlmail under comcast and now trying to setup with att.net. I'm been sending e-mails out to myself. Instead of them going to the sent box they go to the Outbox. In the error message it says

Unable to send or receive messages for the att.net (russellajay) account.
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity.
Server: 'inbound.att.net' Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F Protocol:
POP3 Port: 995 Secure(SSL): No.

The ATT tech said the server is pop3 incoming mail is inbound.att.net / port is 995 out going is outbound.att.net port 465. Can someone please help me resolve these issue with setting up Windows Live with att.net.
