Having been forced to purchase a new machine due to failure of my old friend, I now have Windows 7!
No Outlook Express, so downloaded Windows Live Mail, which doesn't look anything like as good as OE.
Worse is that although I can receive emails on all my POP3 accounts, I can't send anything.
I get this error message:
The server does not support a SSL connection.
Subject 'testing'
Server Error: 250
Server Response: 250 8BITMIME
Server: 'mail.btinternet.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC7D
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): Yes
The email account is with btyahoo, and when I went into 'properties' discovered that the 'My server requires authentication' box under 'Outgoing Mail Server', in the 'Servers' tab was unchecked (in XP it was checked).
'Aha' I thought, and checked the box, expecting a fix.
Still no joy.
Any ideas anyone?
