The primary email address associated with the Microsoft account I use on my Xbox and Windows Phone is one associated with an ISP. I also have an outlook.com alias associated with this account as well as my mobile phone number. I will be leaving my ISP in a few weeks and want to know whether or not I can still manage the account even if the primary email address is no longer active. E.g. will emails relating to this account be sent to the outlook.com alias as well as I will not be able to read or respond to emails sent to the ISP address?

 

If I need to rename the primary email address my understanding is I will not be able to use the existing alias, is that correct? Also, according to the information listed here I will have to factory reset my phone. Is that correct? The same page states that renaming isn't recommended so I'm hoping I will be able to manage the account using the existing outlook.com alias - I really don't want to reset my phone if it can be avoided.

I've had this error code for 3 weeks and I can't send emails, but I can receive.  I've called my ISP and it's not Road Runner.  My SSL is secure, but I also have a socket error:  10060.  Please I need help to get this finally resolved.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

During the last 2 weeks, on 3 occasions, including at present, I have been unable to access my eMails. When I access Internet Explorer, my computer defaults to the hotmail address, the list of eMails appears on screen, but when I click on "unread" items (the ones in bold type) nothing happens. Initially, I 'phoned my ISP (Telstra BigPond) who quickly fixed the problem. However, after 3 days or so, the problem returned. I 'phoned the ISP again 2 days ago, and was then told to 'phone 132058 (the Microsoft customer service & support centre). Initially, access was again avaliable, but only briefly. This morning, Microsoft tell me to contact Big Pond, and Big Pond tell me to contact Microsoft. NOT good enough!!

 

It has been suggested that I somehow have a "blocked free eMail account". How?? Why?? This problem of not being able to access eMails has only happened since I was recently forced to move to a new residential/service address.

 

It seems pointless for Microsoft to continue to send me eMails (3 so far) which I can't access because of the problem, whatever it may be, without at least 'phoning me first, on ***** . There is a messagebank service for when I'm not at home.

 

Kindly FIX the problem urgently, and 'phone me accordingly !!!

On Friday, 7/19/13 my Office Outlook 2003 (Win 7 Home Premium) stopped being able to contact outlook.com.

The error I get -
Task 'xxxxxxxx - Receiving' reported error (0x80042108) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your incoming (POP3) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

I am configured to use pop3.live.com port 995 using SSL and smtp.live.com port 587 using SSL. I was able to send and receive email from Office Outlook 2003 prior to Friday, although it was frequently flakey. I have not changed any email settings that I am aware of. At first I thought I had perhaps changed a firewall setting or something. But then I noticed that my Android 4.1.2 phone email also is unable to reach the servers. It was configured similarly as my Outlook 2003.

I have contacted my ISP and they claim that they are doing nothing that would block access to the servers. Any ideas from the community? Thanks.
I can no longer log into my ISP's mail without logging out of my Hotmail account because they use Outlook for their mail client.  I used to be able to swap between them with great ease.  Why was this feature removed?  It makes little sense.

The constant logging in and out is awful, how do I get my ISP to use Google mail instead?

My OUtlook 10 out of the blue stopped sedning emails.  I was receiving emails.  The error 0x80042112 was displayed with message to conatct the ISP which I did - btinternet.  Totally useless- got me to delete my account (emails did not disappear) and add new to re-create my account.  Now I still can't send emails, but the ones I receive - I see the little box appear when there's a new one - disappear somewhere!  They are not in the Inbox and I've looked in all folders - don't know where they are.  Please help!!!  I am not very technical so please answers in the form of Outlook for Dummies would be much appreciated!!

Original title: outlook not sending emails
Upon retirement, my university email has closed.  I have been trying to change to email offered by my ISP - Charter.

I have a MacBook Pro and use Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 that uses Outlook (not Entourage).  

I cannot fully operate my @charter.net email.  I can receive email messages but I cannot send emails.

The error message: "A message in your Outbox could not be sent. The account which created the message cannot be found. # 17199"

I have followed all permutations of instructions on the Charter website and their support staff will only support the web based email site.
