Received email just "wimdows live team" display "widows live alert." What is a Windows Live scam?

Received email just "wimdows live team" display "widows live alert." My contact information cannot be verified, said, and give the link to confirm. Is this legitimate or a scam

Hello JohnH1001,

Based on these latest incarnations of Windows Live e-mail it's probably a scam. If you read the email carefully, you probably will find that English is not as good as it should consider that it is supposed to come from a multinational company like Microsoft.

This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • Windows Mail telling me connection lost and unable to receive emails.

    original title: How can I receive emails?

    I have Vista home basic system. I use Windows Mail to receive emails. Use for at least 5 years. Recently I get the error message saying my connection lost. Cannot receive emails. I can send.

    It could be your ISP server is on the fritz or your antivirus software has got the update and broke things.  Check www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 and also check your account via webmail if you can to check what is not not a problem on the server side.  Alternatively, you can try to compact and repair the database to try and solve the problem (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).

  • I can't send or receive emails using Windows Live Mail. Receive the error code 4402. I can send and receive email on my hotmail account.

    I can't send or receive emails from Windows Live Mail. Receive the error code 4402. I can send and receive emails from my Windows Live hotmail account. In Windows Live Mail, it also says my server is an http / imap server. Can it be replaced by a pop3 server, so, how? Thank you

    Well, took me a few hours and without the help of a person (TIP!), I've fixed it. Remove the live mail client account and re-apply / restore the account. Solves what seems to be a sync error. -19 October 2011

    This is just spam.  It is NOT from Microsoft.  Whatever you do, do not open attachments to e-mail and do not click on all the links that it contains and do not answer it.  Jest delete it and then empty folder items removed to make sure it has completely disappeared.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Windows live ID:0x800CCC0E, 10060 socket error - impossible to send/receive email using Windows Live Mail

    could not send email, now I can't send or receive email.  I contacted my IP to see if it was a problem on their end, and it wasn't. Help, please!

    Looks like you are running in a block of 25 port.
    As a general rule, the owner of port 25 SMTP server you use must be the same as the entity that provides your Internet connection at the moment. To learn more about this issue, see anti-spam
     
    The workarounds available when sending abroad are the following:
     
    1. use webmail to send (via your browser).
    2. ask your ISP if they have one port other than '25' for SMTP.
    3. If you use the same connection away from home frequently,
    Replace with the SMTP belonging in this regard. It's a bit
    difficult, but if you want to go this route, I can provide more details.
    4. If you frequently send to multiple locations, get a free Gmail account,
    Configure it to POP access, set up in Windows Mail and use it to
    your shipment of household chores. Gmail uses port 465 for SMTP, which is not blocked
    as port 25 is.

    I didn't know that my user name and password are correct-

    This is your Gmail credentials that are not accepted. On this page: my client isn't accepting my login and my password, you will see several measures to be taken. Work through them, test the account in Windows Live Mail after each of them.

    I have reset my password with the help of the Microsoft Web site.
