Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0D and Socket error 10060


Server: ‘smtp.att.yahoo.com’

Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E

Protocol: SMTP

Port:  25

Secure (SSL): No

Socket Error:  10060


When I send a message, the message goes to the 'Outbox' but then I get the above error message and the message just sits in the Outbox and will go no further.  This has been happening for a couple of weeks but was working fine before then.  No known changes in the program or system.


I use Windows 7 Premium.


Would appreciate any help possible.

I am using windows live mail 2011 on Windows 7 Home 64 bit.  I had to reset my pass word with my internet provider wowway yesterday.  Now I can receive e-mails but not send them.  I have double checked with wowway tech staff and they tell me my email settings are correct.  But I contiue to get and error ox800ccoe socket error 10060. Wowway told me I have a problem with windows live mail softare.  I have tried all kinds of fixes on other help sites like changing my outgoing port from 25 to either 465 or 587, and have tired to disable my anti virus (AVG) for sent mail.  None of these things work.

 

The same problem occured at the same time on our second computer running windows 7 and Windows live mail 2009 version.
