... livemai l... and it sends and receives ok but, all the time I get the code
0x800cccoe failure to connect. The settings look fine..
Well, the settings my look fine but I suspect there's something not quite right in the settings. How did you create the account in WLM (Windows Live Mail)? Did you manually enter the account settings or did you use the automated account setup feature in WLM? If you did it manually, I suggest exporting the account to a .iaf file, deleting it, and then try creating the account again by letting WLM search for the account settings. When using this method, you simply enter your email address and your password; WLM then searches the internet to find the proper settings and sets up the account. This will not always work but, if it does, it's the easiest way to set up an account. If if does not work, you can delete that account and import the account you exported back into WLM.
Is it possible there is a fault at the phone exchange. I ask as another friend has complained of email trouble.
The "phone exchange" is your ISP, right? Can you call them for technical support on this? Did you get the account setup details you now have in your email account from your ISP's website?
