"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 ...
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.
That seems to have worked. Thank you very much.
How did you figure that out, if I may ask? I checked the latest Window 10 update, which we installed on November 12. That is when I think we lost the ability to send emails. I did not see anything in that update content indicating that email settings may be affected.
Also, any recommendations on a new email application which we could use to replace Windows Live? Hopefully, we could transfer all our current email stuff to the new application easily.
Anyway, thanks and everybody stay safe!
I noticed people were posting their settings in the three or four similar posts, which were all incorrect.
Edit: I use Outlook within Mac: Office 365
