My Windows Live Mail has been working fine up until yesterday. Now I am getting this message when I try to send mail out:

The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's email address. The sender's email address was '*** Email address is removed for privacy ***'.

Server Error: 530
Server Response: 530 Authentication is required before sending [R0107005]
Server: 'SMTP-server.twcny.rr.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC78
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 587
Secure(SSL): No

My settings have not changed since I started using Windows Live Mail 2 years ago. I checked for updates, and can not figure this out. Can anyone help?

Thank you!!

When forwarding e-mails I have noticed a strange entry in my list of contacts as I scroll down. However, when I list my contacts separately, this entry is not there (and so therefore I cannot delete it.) .  What is this and how do I delete it please?  The entry is:-

Dear Customer,
Windows Live Hotmail® accounts has been growing really fast.
We are having too many congested email due to the anonymous registration of Hotmail, Msn, and Live Accounts on our database system. Please reconfirm your email account and information to know if your account is still active and will also be recorded on our new database system.
We need you to fill in the information below within 48hours or you will lose your account permanently.
*Name
*Username
*Password
*Date of birth
*Country or Territory
Here are some ways to help you manage your account after you reconfirm your account.
  1. Create an archive - Set up a folder on your PC’s hard drive where you can save large attachments. Then just delete them from your inbox. You’ll still have them and your inbox will be that much smaller.
  2. Make your filters work for you- Did you know you can set up your Hotmail account to immediately delete junk e-mail? Go to Options, and click Filters and reporting. Under the “Delete junk e-mail” section, select Immediately to delete junk e-mail right away. Once you’re finished, click Save and you’re done.
  3. Delete a bunch of mail at once- Go to your Junk and Deleted folders, and clear them out by clicking the “Empty” button in the action bar.
If you have more questions, please read our help topic on Hotmail storage.
