Setting up windows mail and accessing webmail

two issues which I suspect are linked:
In trying to setup windows mail, and trying to send test emails I get:
Account: 'mail.btinternet.com', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR [AUTH] Error logging in. Please visit http://mail.yahoo.com', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
I've followed the steps for setting up the account as supplied at
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9701/c/346,412/related/1/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xMzAz...
and tried two variants on my username: firstname.surnameXXXX
and [email protected]
when I try to send/receive in Windows Mail - a windows security box appears asking to username/password
on entering the username/password the dialog box just reappears, and no progress is made. On cancelling the dialog the above error appears.
When trying the webmail login, and on entering my username ([email protected])
and the supplied password, yahoo login gives this error:
This ID is not yet taken. Are you trying to register for a new account?
This is a new account with BT broadband, with the account starting on 1 April, and broadband going live on 13 Apr.
Having setup Mail for other cable/broadband suppliers this is the most trouble I've ever had.
Had double checked that I'm not mistaking 0 and O in the username/password, and have even copy/pasted them from my original order confirmation, so confident I haven't typod either of these details.

that's the page but actually log in on that page to your mail and not use windows mail just to make sure it is working before checking to see if you have an error setting up windowds mail. sometimes it can be 3/4 days after your broadband account goes live
I use windows live mail to pick up and send my btinternet mail without a problem

How do I set up my email on Windows Live Mail on Windows 10

Upgraded my Window 8 to Windows 10. I also have a laptop with Windows 7.I am trying to set up my email (using Windows Live Mail) on the computer with Windows 10. I typed in exactly how it is on my laptop, but it won't work. Anyone able to help?

If it will not verify, that means that one of the settings that you have done for the account is incorrect. Check back with the email provider to make sure you have all of the settings required, that they are correct, and lastly to make sure that you are entering all of the correct information in the correct places.

All email links have stopped working from both Windows Mail and Thunderbird. It is probably caused by a recent update to Firefox. How can I sort this?

It was OK until a few days ago but now no links work in either Thunderbird or Windows Mail. I have changed nothing so I can only assume that this is another case of an update changing things without my knowledge.
Links within web pages still work. Firefox is the default browser and we have been using Windows Mail and Thunderbird (gmail and googlemail) for at least a couple of years on this computer.

Open your firewall program. First check the settings. Make sure that the
program is set to tell you if a new program wants access to the web. Then
go to the list of programs the firewall has. Make sure that all the programs
you want to access the web are set to '''ALLOW'''. If it is set to '''AUTO''', the
firewall may not allow access.
This problem occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
again:<BR><BR>
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)<BR><BR>
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.

Using Windows Mail and BT Yahoo

I use Windows Mail with an email address ending in @btinternet.com.
I also have a BT Yahoo webmail account using the same email address.
As I use Windows Mail most of all I've tended to keep the BT Yahoo Mail account as a "back up".
Recently however I have noticed a few emails reach my BT Yahoo Webmail but do not appear in my Windows Mail inbox.
I was embarrassed recently when an important message fell into this category and I missed it because I only log in to the webmail a couple of times a week.
Does anyone else have this problem, or know why it happens
In every case the messages have been from individuals, not from businesses.
And in the case of one particular individual, a friend in the USA, all his recent messages have gone to the webmail account only and not reached the Windows Mail account.
Thanks in advance for your kind help/advice/support

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
May I ask where these webmail emails appeared ? Were they in the Inbox, or perhaps the Spam folder or another folder you've added ?
Only emails in the Inbox will arrive at Windows Mail. I assume you've set an advanced option within Windows Mail to "leave messages on server", and hence have all of your emails held in webmail ?
It is possible that Windows Mail has a slightly corrupted index, which makes a note of the emails it has last received, and therefore not picked up the new ones. This index can be reset, but you could effectively start receiving all of the emails stored on the mail server again - which could take a long time.

Can't send email in Windows Mail

On May 12th I was unable to send emails under Windows mail. It would come back with an error message of "0X800CCC0F". In my account I'm using (POP3) incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and (SMTP) outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net.
My SMTP port is 25 and my POP3 port is 110. I receive emails but can't send any. If I go to Verizon's email site I can send myself emails and receive them. I don't like Verizon's setup so I've used Windows Mail with Vista and Outlook with Windows ME without any problems. I've tried changing port numbers and checking and unchecking SSl and SPA until I'm not quite sure where I was originally. Something must have changed 5 days ago but I not sure how to fix it. Any suggestions would be most gratefully received.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. Around the same date I began having the same issues (right after Microsoft installed updates). I use Vista and have had this problem ONLY with Verizon ISP every month, at least once a month. This time, it hasn't stopped since the 12th.
Due to this, I finally gave up and ran the Verizon In Home Agent, which Norton suggested I do not do. I should have listened to Norton. The IHA lists that I have two Outlook email address, both of which are the same. I checked my Outlook and I only have one listed. BUT, since I used the IHA I now receive emails twice and can't send any at all unless I use Webmail. The IHA says there are no problems with my email, but I still can't send.
If you figure out the resolution to this, I'd love to know....and I will definitely try the link to Microsoft that someone already listed. I can't use the Windows Mail or Outlook to send.

Hey mcooper156,
I would try the troubleshooting steps in this first article:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
If that doesn't resolve the issue, then I would try and remove iTunes (and its related software) then reinstall:

I have windows xp and installed Firefox version 4. and it informed me it disabled something because it was incompatible but I did not write it down. do you know what that is? after that, my laptop cannot start cmd.exe any more.

See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]

Firefox freezes when i visit websites with videos on the background or i watch videos.I have windows 7 and the laatest version of mozilla.

I have windows 7 and the latest version of firefox.When i watch videos on youtube or visit websites with videos on the background mozilla freezes. I tried to disable all the extensions and plugins but it had no result.I didn't had this problem with versions of mozilla previous to 4.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Intranet email with apple mail and windows live mail on LAN

i have a home wifi network and have two computers using it. one is my macbook and other is my toshiba vista laptop. now my bro and i often exchange emails. he uses windows live mail and i use apple mail. since we are on a slow internet connection with limited data usage per month i was wondering if we could email each other directly over our wifi LAN network without having to use our ISP. i know that we wont be able to use our gmail, yahoo or hotmail or other such internet based IDs but maybe we can make a LAN based ID and exchange emails.
any suggestions?

There's no practical, simple way to do that as far as I know. Apple Mail, like virtually every other mail program is only able to communicate with a mail server, not with another such program.
You would either need to set up a mail server on your LAN (not a trivial task) or you'd have to find a "peer-to-peer" email program and I'm not aware of any such application. Furthermore, in your situation, it would have to be cross-platform (Windows and Mac).
In more technical terms, the email programs we all use are "Mail User Agents" (MUA). An MUA has to communicate with a "Mail Transfer Agent" (MTA), i.e. the email server. An MUA has NO way to communicate directly with another MUA.

Can't send email on yahoo mail, keeps switching to windows mail and smtp errors ?

When browsing using Firefox if I try and send URL or email it automatically tries to send it on Windows Mail rather then the Yahoo mail I normally use, then windows mail can't send any email out saying smtp error. Can send yahoo mail fine ?
