Re: Can't send Mail With Outlook Express POP3

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Try changing the Outgoing (SMTP) Port to 587, as your ISP may be blocking Port 25. See http://liveunplugged.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!F92775FC46A390CA!171.entry

I can receive mail from all my accounts. Interestinglingly I can send mail
with with my hotmail HTTP account but can't send with my Hotmail POP3
account. I get the error message:

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'POP3', Server:
'smtp.live.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error:
10051, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I tried deleting the POP3 account and making a new one but this did not
solve the problem. I have set Norton not to scan incoming or outgoing
messages.

According to the archives
http://support.microsoft.com/default.asp

The problem seems to be "The client connects to a port that is blocked or
unavailable on the mail server. If the client is trying to send a message,
the blocked port is 25"

However the other two mail accounts in OE6 also use port 25 to send mail and
don't have any problem.

Does anyone know if Hotmail are experiencing problems with their SMTP
outgoing mail server?

Could it be that my POP3 settings are not correct?
I am using the settings below:

Your help and suggestions would be appreciated

Kind Regards
Chris

Outgoing mail SMTP 25
