See attached image.
I didn't see anything about "log on using" in the Network Solutions (NS), so I highlighted the default.
In the settings for Outgoing Server requires authentication - should be "Use same settings as incoming...."
The ports on the advanced tab in my image match what NS provides
Pop-Imap settings
Step-by-Step instructions
Note that there is no mention of SSL - so leave it unchecked. Let me know how you make out after you apply the changes.
Hi Roderunner,
Sorry, I sent the wrong screen shot. I did it with SSL ticked, and then without. I deleted the account and reinput everything again. I have now tried every combination I can think of!
I have now discovered that it is sending e-mails if I put one in my outbox and it goes automatically. Even though it comes up with that error when I press send/receive.
So, we must be getting closer!?
Do you have WLM? I can give you another avalonmoz email address and password to try on yours? Then we can tell if it something on my computer or with WLM?
Hi Slartybart,
Thanks for the info. That is almost exactly how I started, only I had 2525 instead of 587. That is how it works on my cellphone and my tablet.
But on this brand new computer with Windows live mail I get this message
Unable to send or receive messages for the Avalonmoz (jenni) account. An unknown error has occurred.
Server: 'mail.avalonmoz.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x80004005
Protocol: POP3
Port: 110
Secure(SSL): No
when I oress send/receive. But, if I put an e-mail in my outbox, it just whips it away and sends it automatically.
I attach the screen shots of my tab settings - just so you can see that I have got it right!

I've tried that, but I still get this:
Unable to send or receive messages for the Avalonmoz (jenni) account. The connection to the server has failed.
Server: 'pop.avalonmoz.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): Yes
Socket Error: 10013
NS allows either port 2525 or 587, it shouldn't matter unless your ISP applies some port filtering. The important thing in this test was that a msg in your outbox does get sent, so you're outbound configuration is fine.
The inbound config is causing you frustrations. I know you're changing and testing things and this should be easier - it's just a matter of getting the right combination
According to Network solutions:
server should be mail.avalon.com
port should be 110
SSL should be NO
You offered Road runner an id to test on avalon - could you also PM me with the id and pw?
I set up an account in my WLM with as much information as I could glean from this conversation and got to the server without a problem - I just didn't have a real account to test.
thanks.
Hi guys,
Excuse my ignorance, but I don't know what a PM is?
I have this email address that we rarely use.
.....Details deleted.....
I have reentered so many times, even using the top numbers rather than the right hand ones in case it made any difference.
Point of interest is that I fired up my old laptop and that will not connect either. That has windows mail, not live mail. Our office computers are all working and my phone and tablet. I don't know if that gives any clues?

Okay, PM must be a message on the forum - yes, I moved the slider to "long".
My old computer has been working fine with the old settings for 3 years.
PM - Private messaging.
I suggest that you delete the post with the test account information. This is a public board.
I have copied the information and will test. Thanks
