    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.

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

      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.
