Stormy Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I recently (Early this weekend) upgraded to Windows 10. Everything went smoothly (I did have to reinstall quite a few programs, but they were all there and just needed to be reinstalled to ensure they worked correctly with 10) I lost a few older apps, but as I didn't recognize the names, I figured they were no great loss. The one problem I had that was making me fret somewhat was my Windows Live Mail. I was receiving fine, but could not send. In attempting to send I kept getting this error message: The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Fw: Newsletter: blah blah yada so on and so forth', Account: 'sbcglobal', Server: 'mail.att,yahoo.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E So I promptly raced over to Senor Google and pasted this search string: "What causes this error: Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E Socket Error: 10060" I read down and found that one person had repaired the same error message by simply opening his email properties, clicking on the "Advanced" tab and in 'Outgoing email (SMTP) changing the Port from the default of 25 to 587. I did that and shazaam, my email now sends fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
