Windows live mail password rejection
A bit of a strange one here had the same email and password with bt now for nearly 4 yrs and yesterday 12-03-2012 my email client windows live mail started telling me my user name or password was wrong on both my computers, but my iPad and iPhone have no problems receiving my email just my home computers, but I can access the web based version and when I did this yesterday I noticed extra security on there where you have to type in the displayed word after doing this it worked on the windows live mail until the login timed out then back to square one?????? I've tried changing the incoming and out going domains from bt Internet to bt connect etc etc etc .......... To no avail anyone have any ideas really bugging me now...

BT Yahoo Toolbar and Windows Live Mail password se...
I have been puzzling yet again why my auto log in to Windows Live Mail no longer works.
Although I tick "remember me", after a reboot I am asked for my password again.
I then came upon this link:
http://www.i19777.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2169
It seems the BT Yahoo Toolbar installer changes the registry settings. Even if the toolbar is uninstalled the registry remains the same and auto log in to WLM does not work.
Downloading and installing "Make Messenger Remember Me" fixes the problem.
Yes, I know it says "Messenger" but if you do not use it, it works just as well for WL Mail.
This has been a pain for some time now and although I have been in contact with BT numerous times about this, they have never admitted that the Toolbar could be the problem.
Will the moderators please forward this post to the tech guys so that this problem can be addressed?Nice link and suggestion Smirnoff.
I assume that toolbar sits in the BTYahoo browser, (don't use it here) which is being phased out I think, so it's unlikely BT tech guys will do anything.
Even if the toolbar is uninstalled the registry remains the same and auto log in to WLM does not work so "Make Messenger Remember Me" could be a useful tool for those still irritated by this who turn to another browser.

For most other sites' login pages, Firefox recognizes that they are login pages and offers to remember my password. For the Windows Live Mail login page it does not.
That log in page is created via JavaScript and the Password Manager doesn't work in that case.
You can see that if you inspect the page source.

Trouble signing into e-mail with Windows Live Mail?
Organizer says in e-mail setup to recheck your sign on and or password. I've been using same for years and it's correct. I use Windows Live Mail threw my service provider and their SMTP port is 25 and that's the only one they use. On setup I used "OTHER" and wrote in Windows Live Mail in the blank. How do you setup port 465 & 587 on my firewall which is microsoft firewall. I already setup Adobe Photo essentials to be alowed through fire wall? I'm lost and not a programer!!!
Tried both deleting the account and re setting it up again and tried accessing it through my sons PC with the same results.
E mail 1 says

Server Response: -ERR [AUTH] (#MBR1213) Please verify your account by going to https://login.yahoo.com

FIOS Email: Doesn't work with Windows Live Mail?
I have follow the instructions posted in mid April 2015 for changing the email settings and they do not work at all with Windows Live Mail.
Unable to send or receive messages for the Verizon (text deleted by me) account. An incorrect password was entered. The next time you send or receive messages, you'll be asked to enter your user name and password for this account.

I am using the exact same identical password I used successfully to access webmail. I confirmed the port settings of 995 (incoming) and 465 (outgoing) are being used in the set up. I noticed various versions of Outlook (Express, 2010, etc) have instructions posted here but not Windows Live Mail. Do the new settings not work on the client?Update: I did find the instructions posted at http://www.verizon.com/Support/Residential/Announcements/general-announcements01.htm?CMP=EMC-CVZ_ZZ_... and they DO NOT WORK
Followed them to the letter step by step and still cannot access when using Webmail. Here is the response:

BT Yahoo Compatibility with Windows Live Mail
Hi Everyone,
I have two computers (Laptop - Vista [32], and my desktop Windows 7 [64 bit]) and I have been using Windows Live Mail (Part of Windows Essentials) for many years!
Until recently, I have not experienced any problems downloading my e-mail messages; problems, only started to occur when I transferred from Talktalk, to BT Infinity!
Regularly since the transfer, whenever I send/receive, I get a messages, advising, either
"enter your password",
or
"incorrect password user name"
I have 5 e-mail accounts, and frequently, I get these message for all 5 of these accounts!
Two things, I find interesting, are that when this problem occurs:
(1) It occurs, simultaneously, with both the laptop, and my desktop! (I have switched, each of in turn, to rule out mutual interference)!
(2) I get a message, several minutes later, from the BT software "BT Broadband Desktop Help", advising "An E-mail Issue Detected" and I am given the option to FIX! If I choose this option, a report comes up, advising that there are no BT accounts on this computer!
Today, for example, I found that I could not download messages, for some 3 hours, continuously!
However, I found that I could log in to BT Yahoo, and see my messages, on line! (Same e-mail address and passwords)
Several times, I have contacted BT, and each time, let them take control of my PC, to investigate. Every time, they have played around, and established that everything is in order!
Today, I again contacted BT, and again, they checked everything out, and verified everything was in order, and they verified that my messages could not be downloaded!
At no time, would the BT specialist admit, that the problem could be at the BT end.
I suspect that with BT Infinity, which is very fast, that my interrogation(Send/Receive) is too fast for their mail account to respond, when the network is busy!
The BT representative, today, admitted that he had tried everything he knew, and therefore was not able to help further; if I wanted further technical assistance, I would have to pay for it!
Given that on many occasions:
(1) I do not have a problem downloading my messages!
(2) When I do have a problem, it occurs on two computers (including (2) above)
I can only conclude that the problem is at the BT end (My broadband connection is perfect), and that the BT software "BT Broadband Desktop Help, is a bag of nails!
I would interested in any comments, especially from BTPuncball wrote:

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
There is actually no compatibility problems with Windows Live Mail, and actually the speed of your connection isn't too fast for the mail servers.
However a couple of months ago or slightly more, there were serious email access issues affecting pop3 client program such as WLM (and all the others like Outlook, Thunderbird etc). As you've noticed, it did not affect access via webmail (logging in via BTYahoo!).
The problem seems to have resurfaced over the past couple of days for some (I have seen the problem), so it's a server issue and not an end user one.
You may like to try altering the mail server addresses in WLM as indicated in my shortcuts option 0d/h (see link below). That has fixed it for many people. (Accounts/Properties/Servers tab - Incoming mail/Outgoing mail, alter both these and the Email username should be the full email address). It is easy to alter back, and only the servers need changing.

Windows live mail 2102 and Verizon yahoo email
Hello
I have been using Windows live mail and Verizon yahoo together for over a year
I use Windows mail since I do like the Verizon webmail feel and format
These two program have worked fine for me until yesterday
Today we try to access yahoo mail using Windows live I get a series of errors .
These errors include
1) timeout
2) wrong password
Last night at the recommendation of VZ tech support I deleted my Live account and created a new one for the same yahoo mail address. This worked last night as all me server email were downloaded for Windows live.
However this morning when I access Windows love I get the same errors ay yesterday and no new emails since last night
I have deleted my anti virus program to see if this solved the problem , however this had no impact
Per VZ tech support I am using the correct port setting, I have tried alternative port setting with no luck
I would appreciate any help in fixing this issue
Thanks

Solved!
Go to Solution.I have had the same experience. The answer is to disconnect your verizon email from yahoo email and then to setup your email settings as described in a recent announcement from Verizon that was sent to users that do NOT use the Verizon Yahoo servers.
Anthony_VZ provides instructions in the Verizon Community Forum - Verizon.net topic. I was so disgusted by the time I wasted trying to get support to answer the simple question of what settings I should be using that I was ready to dump Verizon completely. I was eventually sent to Verizon Premium Support that would answer the question for $14.99 per month with a commitment of 10 months. I have no idea if the Verizon Yahoo ports are even compatible with Windows Live Mail any more or not (nomal support is not "trained in Windows Live Mail"). How they can make something as straightforward as providing email client settings for a common client so difficult is beyond me.
As you can tell, I am very angry about the time I wasted on this. Disconnect your Verizon email account from Yahoo and life will be better. Good Luck. -
Hi,
I use BTYahoo online mail, and Windows Live Mail desktop client. I want to be able to sync my Windows Live Mail address book with BTYahoo mail. Is this possible?
Thanks
Dave.Well I suppose the good news is that I am not the only person with this problem but it has made me think of a possible resolution.
Trying to follow this logically, I am not getting any problems with my android devices which connect wirelessly so I am not sure that it can be slow broadband connection or intermittent line problems bearing in mind that my PC is connected to the router by ethernet cable which should be better than wifi. It would therefore seem to be the way that Windows Live Mail is connecting, and on checking I see that the server settings are different. I have matched my PC to the Android settings and I will report back the results.
I can quite see if the server keeps dropping the connection for some reason or different servers settings are being used to access the emails then this might trigger the request for a new password. -
Hi
Can you please HELP??
I recently had to change my hard drive for my laptop (Sony Vaio). The IT guy replaced my HDD and ghost all my information
from old to new drive. Everything works perfect except for Windows Live Mail.
When I open WLM I get this error:
“Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing
Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247)”
I have since done the following:
PROBLEM SOLUTION 1:
1. Close Windows Live Mail and any other Windows Live programs.
2. Click Start (then Run for
Windows XP), paste the following path below and press Enter:
%Localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Calendars
3. Rename the folder of the account you use to sign in to Windows Live Mail to
sync your calendar (ex. rename [email protected] to [email protected]).
4. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
5. Launch Windows Live Mail again.
THIS DID NOT WORK SO I DID THE FOLLOWING:
PROBLEM SOLUTION 2:
I removed WLM (uninstall) and reinstalled and still nothing.
PROBLEM SOLUTION 3:
I also renamed the WLM folder and reinstalled WLM, then deleted the new WLM folder and still nothing.
PROBLEM SOLUTION 4:
I also tried to import my emails from WLM to Microsoft Outlook but I only have a copy of my mails from the directory.
I do not have an EXPORT copy saved anywhere. Is there any way I can export the WLM to Microsoft outlook?
PLEASE HELP I AM AT WITS END.I have had many problems with permissions on Windows Vista, 7,8 & 81.1. It is usually after an update or installation, especially one that requires a reboot to finish (some AVG, Windows Live, Windows Updates, etc). Once File(s), Folder(s)
and Registry Key(s) permissions are screwed up, it can take days to work them out if ever.
After having spent several hours on a clients PC and online forums with this problem. I transferred her user profile with a free program called
Transwiz (run as Administrator) to a zip file on the HDD. I renamed her user in manage User Accounts to "Username old". I then ran Transwiz again to restore the profile but telling it to create a new user using the original Username.
After it completed restoring the profile, I logged out of "Username old" and logged in to Username and all wass well, I only needed to supply the email password which is not transferred. When you move profile data, all the old permissions
have to be removed and <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> permissions added so the data and files belong to the <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> user. This cleared up all the permission
problems.

Windows Live Mail not connceting with BT email
Hi
After 11 weeks trying to get help from BT I managed to get my BT email working, sort of. The problem I'm left with is that Windows Live Mail will not connect to it, an error message of user or password not recognised appears. I've read various messages on the internet but still have had no success. My Windows Live settings are as follows:
Servers
My incoming mail server: POP3
Incoming mail: mail.btinternet.com
Outgoing mail: mail.btinternet.com
Email username: [email protected] (have tried this with the part before the @ also)
Password: xxxxx (Password working on BT email)
Log on using clear text authentication
Advanced
Server port numbers:
Outgoing mail: 465 with SSL ticked
Incoming mail: 995 with SSL ticked
Any idea what is wrong? Should I go back to BT about this when incoming and outgoing mail is working using BT email? Thanks for any help
GoggsI use the following settings on Windows Live Mail with BTMail on Windows 7
Open your Windows Mail
Go to Tools > Accounts > Properties
Check in user Information that you have entered your name and the full email address. Tick the box “include this account when receiving mail etc”
Click the Servers Tab
My incoming mail server is POP3
Incoming mail (POP3) mail.btinternet.com
Outgoing mail (SMTP) mail.btinternet.com
Incoming Mail server:
Email username: Prefix of your email address
Password: (your normal email password)
Tick the box “remember password”
Tick “log on using secure authentication”
Outgoing Mail Server:
Tick box “my server requires authentication”
Click on the button “Settings” ensure that it is using “use same settings as my incoming server”
There are no changes in the “Connection” or “Security” tabs so ignore them.
Click on the “Advanced” tab
Server Port Numbers
Outgoing (SMTP) 465
Tick box “requires secure connection (SSL)

Click OK and close the mail down. -
Windows Live Mail 2012 - Outgoing Email Times Out due to Lost Server Connection
Using Windows Live Mail 2012 on WIN7 64-bit.
Been receiving emails seemingly without issues, but...
Haven't been able to POST any outgoing emails now since September 16th for any of my main/sub accounts.
Indicator is a Norton Internet Security popup stating:
"Email Error. Your email message was unable to be sent because the connection to your email server was interrupted. Please open your email client and resend the message from the Sent Messages folder." Then it lists the from/to/subj.
I recompose and try to resend; same results.
I've rolled WIN7 back to September 6th, but results are the same.
I thought perhaps NIS was blocking the SMTP port, but same results when I turn off NIS and Antivirus. I don't see anything of significance in NIS's logs.
Of course, Verizon's mini-app that sniffs out and corrects email problems does not know or care about Live Mail. Just Outlook and OE.
Ideas? Things to try? Thanks.

Why don't these match?
Also, my port settings don't seem to match what's posted online.
My outbound port is 25 (not 465) and my inbound port is 110 (not 995).
Doesn't seem right to me, and I'm wondering what changed in the past week?
The changes to pop/smtp from incoming/outgoing have been in the works for a while. Maybe Verizon finally go around to disabling the old servers?
Either way, you should update to the latest settings.
For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up fictional account "[email protected]" and the password for logging into that account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.
The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:
Incoming Server: pop.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes
Username: fakeacct
Password: fakepassword
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Server: smtp.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes (You can set it to use the same settings as incoming, or manually enter the username and password.)
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 465
If you are given the option anywhere for Secure Password Authentication (SPA), set it to No or Normal

These settings should work unless you have a Verizon/Yahoo account, in which case the server names are: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net -and- outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
If all of that is set up and it's still not working, your best bet is to provide a screenshot of your settings (with personal information blocked/removed) and any errors you are getting.

How to i go directly to my inbox in windows live mail using firefox
Nothing more than what I've already said. I want to go directly to inbox in windows live mail (my account is actually Hotmail.com) if that makes a difference. I've tried what others have but they have used IE and the options are there from there silly Msn toolbar, but the toolbar is not compatible with Firefox. Please if anyone can help would be much appreciated.
Thanks JoeWhat do you think about using a bookmark? If you display the Bookmarks Toolbar, it's a one-click operation. If you save the bookmark to the Bookmarks menu, it's a two-click operation. You wouldn't need an additional toolbar.
After opening your mailbox, you can drag the padlock icon from the left side of the address bar and drop it on the Bookmarks Toolbar to add the bookmark there. Right-click and choose Properties to edit the name if it's not to your liking. (If you don't normally display the Bookmarks Toolbar, you can show it by right-clicking a blank area of the tab bar and choosing it from the toolbar list.)
Or to add it to your Bookmarks menu, double-click the faded "star" icon after the right end of the URL (or press Ctrl+d) to open the bookmark dialog. Change the folder to Bookmarks Menu if necessary.
Now... I should mention that for this to work in the future, you would need to stay logged in to your mail site (using Microsoft's cookie) or have Firefox or your favorite password filling add-on save your mail login. Otherwise, your bookmark will be diverted to the login page.
Any luck?
