Can’t receive hotmail messages in Outlook OS-X 2011 but can send. All settings are correct.

I get this message when i try to receive hotmail messages in Outlook OS-X 2011.

****

Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct.

Could not retrieve mail.

Account name: "hotmail"

Error code: -3170

****

I recently changed my password, as I do every few months, but the new password works everywhere else (phone, ipad, webmail).

The server and password settings are correct. I've checked them so many times. 

I can send emails fine, which uses the same username and password as the incoming server.  

I can send AND receive fine on my ipad and iphone, which have the same server settings as Outlook on my laptop.

I can send and receive fine on the webmail-based Outlook/Hotmail.

All this makes me believe it must be Outlook OS-X 2011 which has a problem. 

Can someone please suggest a solution?

Thanks, Alex

I continue to have problems with Windows Live mail even after uninstalling and reinstalling

06. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , , ,

Due to sending issues with my aol and gmail accounts, I uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Live Mail.  Gmail was set up ok but aol will not.  I keep getting a message indicating that the aol server has unexpectedly terminated the connection.

My individual aol account is working fine.

I have set the incoming server to imap 993 and the outgoing to smtp 587.  Why do I continue to have problems.  I have a Gateway NE 722 laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro.

Thanking you for any assistance you can give me.

Throubleshoot connecting to the server (error code -3260) – MAC

06. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

Hello everyone! I'm experiencing some outlook problems and I need some help.

I've started last week to use outlook for my yahoomail account:

Incoming server: imap.mail.yahoo.com port 993

Outgoing server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com port 465 

But I cannot receive any email and I cannot send any emails. It says: Outlook cannot connect to the server. Verify that your computer is connected to the network. 

I am connected to the network so I don't understand where the issue could be!! 

Please somebody help me. I've googled but I didn't find something that could help me solving this issue. 

Thank you in advance,

Gianina

Please help! from yahoo's end, I'm signed up for the premium service, so I know it isn't an issue. 

Cannot send emails from Outlook

08. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , ,
Hi,
I reinstalled Office for Mac 2011 after upgrading to Mavericks. After configuration of incoming and outgoing email server I'm not able anymore to send emails. I made exactly the same configuration in my MacBookPro's "MAIL", where I can send emails without any problems. For authentication of outgoing server I confirmed "same information as incoming server". Any idea what could happen?
Many thanks in advance, 

When outgoing server of POP3 incoming server is setup to not require SSL in WLM, an receiving email is saved in junk

07. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,
Hello,

I added a Gmail account in WLM using 'POP3', then let incoming server require 'SSL'. However, outgoing doesn't need SSL. But when I receive a new mail, I see it saved in Junk of the account added in WLM. On the other hand, when I made outgoing sever require SSL, any new mail became saved in inbox. 
I am quite sure that an incoming  server of mail client is responsible for receiving mails from remote mail server. Thus, I think that any new mails should be saved in inbox even outgoing is set up to not require SSL.

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E

On September 13th, 2013 my system installed scheduled Windows7 Updates.  From that point on I can neither "send" nor "receive" email. 

The error message in it's entirety is:

The connection to the server has failed.

Subject 'xoxoxoxo'
Server: 'smtp.verizon.net'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 465
Secure(SSL): Yes
Socket Error: 10060

I CAN send and receive mail by way of webmail at verizon.net.

I contacted Verizon Tech Support.  I was told to change my Incoming Server from "incoming.verizon.net" to "pop.verizon.net".
I was told to change my Outgoing Server from "outgoing.verizon.net" to "smtp.verizon.net"

After changing the server IDs there was no difference.

Verizon switched the Outgoing Port a long time ago from 25 to 465.
My Incoming Port is 995.
The Outgoing Port is checked to "My server requires authentication" and "Uses the same settings as the Incoming Server".
Both Ports are checked to "This Server requires a secure connection (SSL)"

After 50 minutes on the phone with remote control of my system, I was told the problem was not on their end and was told to go to the web and see if I could find an answer there.

I have run Norton Utilities and cleaned and compacted my Registry.

I have uninstalled all Windows Essentials including Windows Live Mail.
I have downloaded and reinstalled Windows Live Mail.

I have followed all the instructions in the replies to various community messages.
 
I am still unable to Send or Receive email.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
