Help!
We have created an account at http://domains.live.com for our domain awadh.co.in and created an email account which is working fine in browser.
Following a help article in Windows Live Help section (appended at the bottom), we had setup that account in outlook express. One thing we did additionally is that - under "Server" tab, we checked (clicked) on the checkbox where it says "My Server Requires Authentication" because without this the authentication error was coming while sending email.
Using this account we are successfully receiving emails but can not send emails. Every time we try to send email it gets failed with the following Time Out error 0x800CCC0F:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Subject 'Fw: Getting started with Windows Live Hotmail', Account: '{removed email address} (Live.com)', Server: 'smtp.live.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
Thanks.
