Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10053
Tried all the obvious things... what now?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Here are the settings you should use, please don't use anything else:
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.
You're not using SSL.
Outgoing mail settings:
server: smtp.hughes.net
port: 465
"Use SSL" should be checked
authentication should also be set to your username and password.
I'll give it a try and let you know, but the current settings have worked for years... until today.
Tried that... the email apparently sent, at least it left the outbox, but now the email will neither send nor receive.
How can it no longer send or receive if it just sent an email? I don't understand what you're saying.

Cool new issue. Now my Windows Live Mail won't do anything but show me the send/receive detail box... no 'home page'.
I'll be going for a while, going to restart, again.
Thanks
John
Live mail opened with the restart, all seems well. It seems that a Windows update reset EVERY setting to default.
Many thanks.
You may be on to something. However, I was under the impression that Senacor (the email subcontractor) finally upgraded to TLS 1.3 and moved to SSL-only email in the process, which is common practice now.
The email I sent left the outbox, never arrived at the destination. Now I cannot send or receive anything. for example, I am not getting your messages via email, I have to refresh this page to read them... nothing arrives in my inbox.
