"Windows Live" Emails will not send
Hello Everyone,
We know that Windows Live is an old, unsupported email application. However, we have been using it for years as it meets our needs - until the past couple days. We can still receive emails, but we can not respond or send any emails out. I have included the error notification we receive. It seems to say that something is wrong with the Hughes.net server. Is anyone else having problems like this? Is there a fix? Thank you for all your support. Stay safe!
The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's email address. The sender's email address was '*********@hughes.net'.

Someone suspected that Windows reset the settings in the most recent update. Double check your settings, they should be as follows:
Incoming mail settings:
server: mail.hughes.net
port: 995
"Use SSL" should be checked
authentication should also be set to your username and password.
Outgoing mail settings:
server: smtp.hughes.net
port: 465"Use SSL" should be checked
authentication should also be set to your username and password.
