@RogerHinton Hi Roger, I too have Outlook 2007 installed but I no longer use it due to it having a number of non-Hughes related issues. I had replaced it long ago with Thunderbird. Thunderbird is set to handle mail from not only my Hughes mail account but also my Hotmail (Outlook.com) and Gmail accounts. Every now and again TBird may have a short term issue connecting to Outlook.com but a forced re-try usually works. One thing to consider is that when connecting to non-Hughes accounts your email client (Thunderbird in this case) is connecting directly to THAT mail server and not relayed through any part of the Hughes mail delivery system. That is not to say there can't be any Hughes related issues however. Poor connectivity could cause "time-out" errors among other things. Things got a little "funny" when Microsoft dropped "Live Mail" and went to the Outlook 360 route. This: Windows Live Mail and Outlook Mail Created by ¡Firedog June 7, 2015 MVP Insider Community Moderator Wiki Author MCC: Content Creator MCC: Content Curator Conversationalist Launch expert - Windows 10 Most Recommended Discussion Accomplishments Accomplishments MVP Insider Community Moderator Wiki Author Technical Level : Basic Summary The latest version of Outlook.com is called Outlook Mail, sometimes referred to as 'Outlook on the web'. This version is built on the Office 365 platform, which should bring some performance improvements, and there are several interface enhancements. Some details of the preview version have been given in this blog post: New ways to get more done in Outlook.com. However, the new version no longer supports the DeltaSync protocol which is the default configuration in Windows Live Mail for Microsoft email accounts (those @outlook, @hotmail, @live, @msn, @windowslive and any other free account with a mailbox at mail.live.com). This means that other methods will be needed to synchronize mail folders and messages with the Outlook Mail servers. This article explains how to achieve this by using IMAP instead of the default HTTP configuration. Keywords: "server error 3219", "error 0x8DE00005", "updating the calendar", "Outlook Email" Details Most Outlook.com accounts have already been upgraded to the new version. The indications of this for the user are: Source: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/wiki/livemail-email/windows-live-mail-and-outlook-mail/6edb5ba6-f9f2-40fd-80a1-fc23cc6fbfe0 In terms of "ports", Hughesnet as only blocked one port ... port 25. That was done for security reasons. Again, I found Outlook 2007 to be problematic but Thunderbird should work well. I didn't pick up on how you were set up ... POP or IMAP. I have my Hotmail (Outllook.com) account as a POP and my Gmail as IMAP. For comparison here are my TBird settings for outlook.com I have no clue as to why yours will work when connected to cable and not with your Hughes connection. This will require futher digging. Just before having TBird try to get mail, take a peek at the Modems SCC at 192.168.0.1 and see if your connection has any active error codes. One thing we can try is to disable Web Acceleration just before trying to get email so as to avoid a "time-out". Do you know how to toggle W/A? What A/V program are you running? Both Avast (both file and mail shields) and Norton have been known to "intercept" and reject mail transactions is some cases.
