linekill 1 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Does Outlook Express send and receive emails when you're wired? If it does, proceed with the next step. Otherwise, there may be a problem with its SMTP and POP settings. Since Outlook Express is asking for your dial-up login, it's best to start by checking on what type of connection OE is using. 1. Go to TOOLS > OPTIONS. 2. On the Options box, go to the Connections Tab. 3. Click the "Change" button. This will open the Internet Options window. 4. On the window, make sure that "Never Dial a Connection" is selected. 5. Click OK, Apply, OK. If the same thing happens, you may need to check on the settings of your Outlook Express. Use the following as a guide: POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995)POP SSL required? YesUser name: Your Windows Live ID, for example yourname@hotmail.comPassword: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows LiveSMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25)Authentication required? Yes (this matches your POP username and password)TLS/SSL required? Yes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
