I am able to receive emails but unable to reply - error 4104 recurring. Have checked on line but not too savvy when it comes to technical stuff.
Tried to add account but not sure which server to use POP3 or IMAP (IMPA on account name)
What do I put down for ingoing & outgoing servers?
:(
Email works through hotmail!!!

Under Tools/Accounts - Advanced/Folders, I saw that the radio button for "don't save a copy of sent messages" was selected. Why, I have no idea - perhaps that's the default for a new IMAP account? In any event, I changed it to "Store sent messages in this folder" and selected Sent Items (Server). It now seems to be saving sent mail there.
My question is, how do I get it to download all the prior sent mail (not just the headers)? I tried Synchronize Now, and that didn't work.
In receiving, I am not prompted at all, and no mail arrives. No error is written to the Errors window. Also, when sending or receiving, Outlook usually has a progress indicator in the lower right. It's there for sending, but nothing happens at all when I click "send & receive" and there's nothing to send.
When I select Tools > IMAP Folders, the server appears on the left, but no folders appear on the right. (I can view them in Apple Mail.) I have compared my settings to a document I maintain of email server settings, and everything matches. The server does not use nonstandard port numbers.
And finally, I noted that when I view the settings in the Preferences window there is a yellow dot next to the server name. I'm assuming that yellow means a problem is indicated.
I use Windows Live Mail 2011 on W7 Home Premium. I have 4 POP3 and 2 IMAP accounts.
I am getting a a popup window indicating errors have occured, but no errors listed. The bottom status shows 5 of 6 Tasks were completed. When I click the tab to show "Tasks", 5 of the 6 accounts have status of complete and one account has no status. The account with no status is a POP3 account. This occurs when Live Mail is doing a background "Timed" Send and Receive.
What I have tried. If I click the Send and Receive Button, all accounts complete without error. If I use the Send and Receive pulldown and select the single account having the problem, it completes the Send and Receive without error. I have done this hundreds of times without a failure. It only happens with the timed automatic Send and Receive.
If checked and double checked all account settings. All POP3 accounts have identical settings and all access the same POP3 server. Both IMAP accounts have identical settings and are both GMAIL accounts.
I exported all email messages and deleted the account getting the error. Rebooted the computer, loaded email, and let it run through several automated Send and Receives. No error happened.
I recreated the account and the error returned.
Next, I tried rearranging the order of accounts in the left window. No effect.
After rearranging account order, I once again deleted the account, rebooted etc.
Recreated the account and changed account order at the same time. The account started working correctly, but Oh boy....
One of the IMAP accounts now now has the same problem!
This installation has been running without failure for about a year. The only clue I can think of is an experiment with "Picture" settings recently. Being annoyed by Live Mail's handling of pictures received in email when I forward. I turned on the option for Coverting Photos to Photo emails. Used that for awhile to test and turned that option off.
Any experiences or suggestions?
Thanks!
