Question

can not send email

Jan 28, 2013 11:43PM PST

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC78

The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's email address. The sender's email address was 'june@bjsbabes.com'

Server Error: 503
Server Response: 503 you must authenticate first (#5.5.1)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Now you contact your mail provider and work with them to see if any server has blocked this. It's called black listing and only those that encounter this the first time will think it can be solved in a forum.

So now we know that it works from gmail so now back to your email provider.

That is, follow your email provider's instructions to use WLM with their email server.

Sounds like WLM needs uninstall/reinstall

MS in it's wisdom, updates WLM "on the fly" without notifying or asking you. Sometimes these updates cause problems, so you have to uninstall and reinstall. When you do, be sure to export your email and contacts first so you don't lose them. I had to do this back in April; fortunately I haven't had to since.

Good luck.
