Why do I have an Unknown error on Windows Live Mail?

Robin L have the same problem so I am interested in any response as well
I have found that some unopened messages will not delete until I open them and other opened messages will not delete until later on
I believe the problem is in the live mail program as it has appeared since win 10 was installed then deleted along with unable to fix live calendar keeps coming up in the notifications
Any teck savvy experts that can give a response I would also appreciate

Change your e-mail address, get a new account. This spam question seems suspicious.

This error code normally happens in Outlook version 2007 and 2010 due to improper configuration of POP3 and SMTP. This is the only known reason for the Outlook error 0x80040607. Due to this error Outlook trouble you to send/receive emails.

This error occurs if

• Windows Live Mail is set as the default mail client;
• A Hotmail-type account (any account, including those on domains like hotmail.*, live.* and msn.com, that uses the Hotmail interface for webmail) is set as the default mail account;
• That account is configured to use HTTP;
• Windows Live Mail is not running when it is invoked by a sendmail or mailto command, like by clicking a link on a web page.

The SMTP configuration may be off. Double check with each account that fails. Example - mail.domain_name.com.

There may be a port blockage as well, but less likely. SMTP is 587

You probaly have the SSL box checked in your SMTP settings.

Open Outlook Express.
Click on Tools in the menu, and click on Accounts in the drop-down menu.
Click on Mail.
Double-click mail account.
Click on Advanced.
Outgoing mail (SMTP) should be 25
Box on the left of This server requires secure connection (SSL) should be clear. If not, click on it to clear the check.
Clikc OK button and you should now be able to send emails.

If you have Yahoo! Mail Plus (a paid upgrade), you can access those messages directly from a standard email program (such as Outlook, Windows Live Mail, etc.). You need to configure the account settings in your email program for the Yahoo service.

The settings for incoming mail are:
Incoming (POP) server: plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 995
Security: SSL
