The connection to the server has failed.

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0×800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP

I never had this problem with OE… I can send from other accounts w/o problems; but, I constantly get the above hang when trying to send from my msn account.

I hate Windows mail, I also cannot get it to work. Or AT&T and H.P. I don’t get it. A new computer and I have not had email for a wek, and no one can fix it. Great!

When I try to use Windows Mail, A box pops up called “windows Security” asking for a user name and password. This has never happened before. I have typed in the user name and password, but it just pops up again asked for the same information. I have checked all the setting in “accounts” under “tools” and they are correct.

I tried setting up a new Talk Talk account but had the same problem. I cannot find where windows security is in order to check the settings.

I have a BT Yahoo mail account which works ok.

Any suggestions?

We have Comcrap, and have been using Outlook Express on our XP running desktop for years now, as out home e-mail. We had a brief bit of trouble when Comcrap took over Insight here in IN, but changing things under “tools”, “Accounts”, etc…got that squared away.

Of course the incoming/outgoing servers had to be changed in tools, as well as ports 587 and 100.

Back in the Spring no one could send any e-mails to our comcast.net addy, without some Mdaemon errors and bounce backs. That was a PITA, which our trusty IT dept cleared up. It WAS Comcrap’s fault! Go figure…

Now we have a Vista ASUS laptop, and I have tried piggy back configuring Windows Mail with the same settings, over our wireless router, so we can use it arounf the house, or on deck, and it doesn’t do $#!+. It either spools the “authorizing”, also gives the annoying remember my credentials “user name” “password” crap (Thanks Vista!!!), or shows connecting…disconnecting.

I was done with Windows Mail after about 20-30 minutes and a few beers…Screw it, we’ll use Thunderbird, or some web based e-mail for the laptop, as Windows Mail and Comcrap are not syncing.

The desktop may be finicky, but OE works there, hardwired via a RJ45 patchcord, with an in-line wireless router.

I know my $#!+ and I already hate Vista. Thank god we can get Windows 7 for free in October, with the new ASUS purchase upgrade program.

It is funny I been having lots of trouble with my e-mail I use high speed q.west mail I ask them to help me set up Windows Mail but they told me I could not use Vista Windows Mail , this strikes me very odd I am to the point were I will revert to Dial up with earth link .
It seem to me q.west has absolutely no Customer loyalty and/or no employees with the knowledge to solve that problem.
Anybody has some suggestions what to do, Thanks
