Working Windows XP SP2 from hotel wireless for 3 months.
Outlook is/has been working (work.com & Hotmail) at same system settings, but, OutlookExpress Receives mail from LIVE.com but will not 'Send,' producing message: "The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop3.live.com', Server: 'smtp.live.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E". Outgoing (SMTP)="smtp.live.com", port 25. Read many posts for others' POP3s as well as many support.microsoft.coms, including http://support.microsoft.com:80/kb/813514. Virus scanning is 'Off' for Outbound mail. All updates current except latest Outlook Junkmail filter (office2003-KB962870-FullFile-ENU) to avert shared foul-ups pending OutlookExpress fix. Gotta be Socket Error, right? But What and Why (and How to fix)? IE, Outlook & Error Reporting I/O just fine. Thanks. CT |

Try changing the Outgoing (SMTP) Port to 587, especially when traveling; cf.

You're Awesome PA Bear! It worked, of course.
Now, to gild the lilly: How in the world can a (non-IT) user parse a self-search that will include these back-pages of the very sites he sought 'Help' from to set the original SMTP? Thanks so much for your help! CT "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ...

YW & thanks for your feedback.
First, it helps to know that all online support for free Hotmail accounts now is he http://windowslivehelp.com/?lc=1033 If you type OUTLOOK EXPRESS in the big ol' search box at the top and press GO, the first result is http://windowslivehelp.com/solutions...k-express.aspx (which also suggests using Outgoing Port 587). wink C.

Argh...Stop it! That is NOT the page I was redirected to from either Help or
Support links on the mail page (http://home.live.com/ et al) & reinforced at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...ailserver.mspx. Promise. BUT, it is the one I've bookmarked & WILL use in the future. I can only imagine the layers involved but, you might suggest streamlining this search-link process from the mail users' site (It's gotta be better for you & yours, PABear; you guys have to read a lot of gerbil splatter).

I can only imagine the layers involved but, you might suggest streamlining
this search-link process from the mail users' site They don't listen to MVPs and never have. You can give your feedback via https://feedback.live.com/default.as...ductkey=wlmail (It's gotta be better for you & yours, PABear...) Nope! But I do monitor several Windows Live RSS feeds, including the feeds for http://windowslivehelp.com/solutions and http://www.mailcall.spaces.live.com/. C. Tackett wrote: Argh...Stop it!

For many email providers, not just Windows Live, alternate access is provided using either port 587 (per RFC 4409), or port 465, a /de facto/ secure SMTP port. You could try the alternate ports, or just go to your provider's Web Help pages and search there. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |
