Vista - Configuration of mail account

02-07-2008

I have five email accounts in WLM. I am receiving mail in four of them
but not the fifth. I have tried different settings on the server tab (SSL
checked and unchecked on incoming and outgoing) and I have tried also using
"requires authentication" checked and unchecked. I have also tried enabling
the option of using my LAN account.
I would appreciate any assistance from anyone and I thank you in
advance.

That account may require settings you haven't tried yet. You could ask that
email provider for their instructions for setting up to use their email
servers,
and see if the instructions are up to date enough to cover Windows Live
Mail. The instructions are probably available somewhere in their web
site. Or, you could tell us who that email provider is and see if anyone
here
already knows where to find the instructions. The different settings could
be the port numbers used for the incoming and outgoing servers, but since
there are about 65,000 ports available, trying all of them is not an easy
way to find which one works.

The error messages would help.

Thanks guys. I should have given you the error message. That was stupid
of me. The message stated that it was a server connection issue. I don't
remember the exact words.
I appreciate you taking the time to help. Anyway, I spent about three
hours trying to figure it out, reconfiguring this and that in different
combinations, looking for answers on the web, deleting and adding the
account, etc, etc, etc.
I had a sudden attack of common sense during my fifth or sixth attempt
at adding a new account. I asked myself; why am I allowing the wizard to
configure my settings? Whenever the wizard configured the server it was for
a POP3 account and I simply did not notice it. I suddenly realized that my
new account is HTTP and successfully configured it the first time. Jesus,
what a moron.
Again, thanks for the help. I appreciate it very much.

Winston,

The account is a windowslive.com account. My main email account, prior
to installing and using WLM for the first time (because I decided to start
using a newsreader, which I had never used before), was a premium Yahoo
account with my ISP, AT&T. I migrated the Yahoo account, which as you know
is a POP3, into WLM. I had previously configured the servers in the event I
needed to use the feature in the future.
WLM then automatically migrated my two hotmail.com accounts into
itself. I then created a live.com account, which went flawlessly. I then had
only one problem remaining, the windowslive.com account. It simply could not
and would not receive and send mail. I could not send emails to the account
and I could not send emails from the account.
The new account wizard always tried to configure the account as a POP3
account and I allowed it to do so. When the wizard requested the servers I
entered the information for my ATT Yahoo servers, thinking the wizard knew
best. I had completely forgotten that the windowslive.com account is an HTTP
account such as Hotmail. I then configured the account manually with no
problems whatsoever.
I have omitted some important information concerning this issue because
I don't want it broadcast throughout the discussion groups. Please email me
and I will let you know why I had allowed the new account wizard to try to
configure the windowslive.com account as a POP3 account. You will then
understand everything.
Have a nice day.

C.B.

I wasn't aware that Microsoft offered windowslive.com accounts.
The new account sign-up screen at http://get.live.com/mail/overview
only offers @hotmail.com and @live.com as possible choices.
(Looks like they recently dropped the @msn.com option.)
Is windowslive.com for a special program?

Gary,

Please "unmunge" my listed email address, send me an email and I will
provide you with the necessary information.
I am not trying to keep information from the discussion group. I am
only trying to keep my ass out of hot water with Microsoft.
Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.
