Windows live mail smtp setting comcast

Two weeks ago my Windows 7 Live Email simply stopped sending mail.  I know all about Port 25 questions and change the settings in 587.  I spent two hours in an online chat with a Comcast technician and we never had it going.  The tech said that 586 and 587 are Comcast port settings.  I've done this many times, including various SPA and SSL settings, but nothing works.  I have to go to Comcast Webmail to send anything.  I'm totally baffled, because I tried dozens of suggestions of settings all over the web, including Comcast itself, and nothing works.

Use the SMTP 587 port and make sure that: my server requires authentication is enabled.

How can I set up/configure Outlook Express, Windows Mail & Windows Live Mail to E-mail from Comcast?

  • How can I stop spam into my Inbox to in windows live mail

    I can't configure my windows live mail to set up so I don't get junk e-mail or spam in my Inbox. When I try to get help everything seems set with hotmail and non-windows live

    (WLM) Unique Windows Live Mail spam settings are on the configuration screen"Security Options"

    In WLM 2011

    ALT F > Options > Security Options

    If not use account type Hotmail with the HTTP in WLM, the "Security Options" is the only possible configuration for pop3 accounts.  FYI - your pop3 account provider can provide junk e-mail filter settings in the web interface of the account.

    If you have a Hotmail type account program WLM installation and the junk e-mail filter in the previous Hotmail web interface takes on the local WLM junk e-mail filter. To set up a filter spam from Hotmail type account

    -Login with your Hotmail username/pw account at http://mail.live.com or hotmail.com

    -Click Options (upper-right) > more Options > filters and reports

    > Check 'Standard' or 'exclusive '.

    -Click Options (upper-right) > more Options > Safe and blocked senders

    > Configure each section (shippers, security mailing lists, the blocked sender) according to your specific preferences

    Note: A good amount of junk e-mail by spammers is sent with an addresess email sending false or often changed. Block a sender does not spam from appearing in your Inbox.  Caution when blocking a sender - test message properties to make sure you does not clog your e-mail address or an existing one comes into contact with address - since spammers can have forged headers (sender) with your or contact address.

  • My Windows Live Mail keeps coming back on an old unused account.

    I use Windows Live Mail along with Windows 7.  I use it to check my email on GMail.  The original email with GMail address was changed to another email address. (I deleted the one with GMail).  I changed the properties of the e-mail account so that it matches the properties of the new email address. (This includes address and password and user name)  I made the changes and click on the apply"" button.  However, the changes you don't want to go back to the old account after I turned the computer off, then back on, or even if I use the computer for a period of time and try to check e-mail after this period.  What is the solution to this so that the changes are permanent and do not change?

    Do you have any programs running that could prevent unexpected changes taking place? This includes any sort on security or program claiming to carry out the system of care.

    Windows Live Mail is set to work offline, and then move all messages in folders account to records created by the user in the storage files. When you do not know that there are no messages in folders under the account you want to keep, right-click on the account name in the folders pane, and then select delete account.

    Close Windows Live Mail and wait a few minutes while the program does its household index messages that you just moved. Open the task (Ctrl-Shift-Escape) Manager and wait for wlmail.exe no longer appears in the list under the processes tab.

    Restart Windows Live Mail and verify that you always work offline (the button on the home Ribbon tab should read online). Press Ctrl-Shift-T to start the Add your e-mail accounts Wizard and add the account back again. To be on the safe side, before you go online for the test account, right click on its name in the folders pane, and then select Properties. Give it a different name that you just removed.

    Go online and if necessary, click send/receive to begin a download. If you used the default settings, the account records must be downloaded and finally filled with the messages on the server.

  • Why windows live mail doesn't stop me to set up my gmail account using pop

    I am trying to access gmail via Windows Live mail 2011.

    However, I am not able to set up Gmail account in windows live mail using pop.
    A message prompts me to use the IMAP protocol.
    Why?

    The default value for the new Gmail accounts is to use the IMAP protocol. If you particularly want to use POP3, press Ctrl-Shift-T to start the Add your e-mail accounts Wizard. On the first page of the wizard, select manually configure settings, and then select POP3 on the next page.

    Once you get the job account via the POP3 service, you can delete the IMAP account. Don't forget to read and act on the warning message that appears when you try to delete the account.

  • I have windows live mail with two email accounts comcast and hotmail all of a sudden all of my comcast Inbox mail appears in the hotmail account,.

    whenever I check that my windows live mail all the emails sent to my accont comcast also are appearing in my Inbox hotmail also.

    I don't know why. the comcast account is my account by default, all emails sent to hotmail stay in hot mail, but all emasils sent to comcast account also appear

    in hotmail too. How can I stop this. I thried to delete windows live mail a reinstall it thought that it worked but still past. does anyone have the answers.

    I'm ready to dump hotmail and windows live.

    The most plausible explanation for this is that you asked to Hotmail to collect messages from your Comcast mailbox. Connect to your Inbox Hotmail, pointing to the Inbox in the left column, click the gear and select get one email from another account. If your Comcast account is mentioned on the page that opens, delete it.

    Windows Live Mail has its own forums dedicated to Windows Live Solution Center. Please address any other question you may have on one of the forums on the right side of this page.
