Windows Mail
My Windows Live Mail will not open, so I tried to switch over and start
Windows Mail instead and add my 3 email accounts. None of them will download emails or send. I keep getting this error: The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop.embarqmail.com', Server: 'pop.embarqmail.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E I do not know what to do! I depend on emails for my business! Thanks Lisa Peterson |
