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?

I'm getting Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E, Socket Error: 10060.


That simply tells us that WLMail was unable to connect to a server. Please click on the error message to select it, then use right-click to copy it and paste it into a reply here. There can be no troubleshooting without seeing the entire error message verbatim.


I have also been getting the same error code as follows - can anyone help


Server: 'mail.plus.net'

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E

Protocol: POP3

Port: 995

Secure(SSL): Yes

Socket Error: 10060

I am unable to send messages in WLM and get the following message ""The connection to the server has failed.  Subject 'xxx' Server: 'mail.optusnet.com.au' Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E Protocol: SMTP Port: 587 Secure(SSL): No Socket Error: 100".  There are 3 computers using the same email address - the other 2 are having no problem sending but my messages just sit in outbox.  There were no changes to my computer that I know of and would love any help (in plain english please).  Thank you

Complete error message:

 

Connection to server failed.

 

Smtp: sbcglobal.yahoo.com

Windows Life Mail Error ID: 0x800ccc0e

Protocol SMTP

Port 25

Secure (SSL) No

Socket Error: 10060

 

This problem only began 3 days ago.  Previously everything worked just fine.

Have checked with McAfee.  They disabled the program but still could not send email.  Problem NOT with McAfee.

From my att.yahoo homepage can receive and send emails through Yahoo Mail w/o any problem.

Problem is only with Windows Live Mail.

 

Need any suggestions before I contact AT&T.

Thanks a TON.

This is the full message I get when I try to send mail from Windows Live Mail.

The connection to the server has failed.

Subject ''
Server: 'smtp.comcast.net'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10013

I just discovered that of the 3 email addresses that I have on my Live Mail page:  two at comcast.net & one at  gmail   , the gmail account can send emails.  Could this be a comcast issue?

Thank you for your attention.


I had the same problem with receiveing emails with ports 110 or 995 (SSL). I get the following error message when "Connecting" to the server:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail (ovujcin) account. The connection to the server has failed.

Server: 'pop.live.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): Yes
Socket Error: 10013

Port 995 is successfully used by my gmail account. MS tech support told me over the phone that the pop3 server for free accounts is out of capacity. It is ironic that MS does not support use of Hotmail pop3 setting, which is required for using message rules - one of the best features of MS mail applications.

I was getting an error message saying "Do you want to go online?"  I would say Yes, but it wasn't letting me online.

No I am receiving the following message: 

 

The connection to the server has failed.

Subject 'Opportunity'
Server: 'relay.fast.net'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10013

 

I can get my incoming emails, but the outgoing ones don't go.

 

Thanks for your assistance ahead of time.

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.
