Windows live mail 2012 cant send emails but can receive them

04. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,

I'm having the same problems and don't know what to do so would like some help too. I've just installed a new pc and have windows 8.1 which I am not getting on well with and don't like the email system as worked very slow  so downloaded windows live mail 2012 and really like the setup of this as similar to what I am used to when I had windows vista. I have set up all my email accounts (8 in total sky and yahoo mail) and I receive emails with no problem but unable to send any emails and get the below message

The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's email address. The sender's email address was ********** (deleted my email address)'.

Subject 'Swimming Lessons'
Server Error: 530
Server Response: 530 5.7.1 Authentication required
Server: 'smtp.tools.sky.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC78
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 465
Secure(SSL): Yes

Please can you help resolve this problem and is windows live mail 2012 the best email client to use with this view.

Regards and looking forward to your reply

Windows live mail (windows 8) receiving e-mail is stuck

03. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

Up until a couple of days ago my windows live mail was working fine, then all of a sudden when receiving mail it is just stuck .....I have left it running for hours and its not completing and not giving me an error message either!  Nothing has been changed at all on my system. I have been going to task manager and ending task on live mail then shutting down and restarting which has worked in the past when this happened once before but it is not working at all.  I am having to use BT Yahoo mail in the meantime, which is a pain but that is receiving and sending e-mails with no issue!!!

How can I sort/clear windows live mail to get it working properly again?

Hi, 

I am having difficulty sending and receiving all of my yahoo mail from the windows live mail. All my settings and passwords are correct. Does anyone know what the problem is? The screenshot of error msg is below. And here is a close up of the error message : 

Unable to send or receive messages for the Yahoo.com (janslee79) account. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity.

Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com'

Would appreciate any answers. 

Thanks!

unable to send emails from websites

05. April 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,

I installed windows live mail when I got my new windows 7 computer. the print is so small I can hardly read it. when I tried to send an email from a website. the only option was to send it to my desk top. the other two were shaded. so I uninstalled windows live mail and installed yahoo mail. I still can not email from a website. I would like to make my yahoo mail as my default. no one seems to know how to do that. I can not email from either email account from a website. I could not even email from the windows live mail it`s self.  I had incredimail first and it just froze up so I had to uninstall it. I do not know why Microsoft would put an email program on windows 7 that makes impossible to use any other email account. also I tried to find where I could reinstall windows live mail thinking I missed something the first time I installed it and hoping I could sent out an email. I can not even find where to reinstall it now, not that I want it anyway.

 Also I just downloaded windows essentials 2012 thinking it might help. well now I just have another icon on my desktop and I don`t see anything I would use it for. I have not uninstalled it because I think I saw it before in my control panel. can I uninstall it or is it something I need?

Windows Live Mail

24. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,
When starting up Windows Live Mail it keeps hanging and saying "not responding"  It is showing over 14,000 emails in my inbox - I cannot delete anything or move items as keeps hanging.  My computer was recently repaired as there was a problem with one of the drivers.  Since my computer has been returned I cannot use WLM.  Any advice how I can get this working again.  Currently accessing my emails via BT Yahoo mail.

Can no longer access Yahoo Mail in Windows Live since password change

17. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,

Hi

I have two Yahoo email .co.uk accounts. Late last year (Nov?) I was prompted to change password on one account with a message from Yahoo that there had been attempts by an app based in US to access my account. I am in the UK. I believe that this may have coincided with a lot of other people also having problems with Yahoo mail.

I changed the password since when I have been unable to access mail from this account in Windows Live Mail. The other account which I didn't change works fine. (I have more recently changed the password on htis account and it still works).

I can access the problem account through my iPhone without problem, and I can access it via the web.

I have tried everything I can find online from varying the POP settings to deleting the account in Windows Live Mail and then re creating it all to no avail.

Current settings are

Outgoing: smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk 587 with SSL

Incoming: pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk 995 with SSL

Have tried other port numbers, .com instead of .co.uk and other forms of authentication.

Log on using secure authentication (clear text authentication) all other options also tried

I get repeated requests for the password although it is entered correctly, and eventually the following error mesage:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Yahoo.co (name of account) account. An incorrect password was entered. The next time you send or receive messages, you'll be asked to enter your user name and password for this account.

Server Error: 0x800CCC90
Server Response: -ERR [AUTH] (#MBR1240) Please verify your account by going to https://login.yahoo.com
Server: 'pop.mail.yahoo.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC92
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): Yes

I have POP selected in the Yahoo Mail settings.

I am running Windows 7 using automatic updates and Mozilla Firefox 27.0.1

Ever since I did the update with ATT I am now having problems sending and receiving emails from Windows Mail (Vista).  I like it better than Yahoo mail which I can use.  Can someone help me get Windows Mail back.  Thanks

Adding Yahoo mail account to Windows Live Mail

27. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , ,
I'm trying to add a Yahoo mail account to my Windows Live Mail client and, in running through the wizard to add a new account, it is asking me to confirm the incoming server address and outgoing server address.  I know these things are normally fairly standard strings for each product but does anyone know the details I need to put in for a yahoo mail account?  Any help gratefully received.
Thanks.
