Pipex was taken over by Talk Talk but homecall.co.uk is still my email address. I have no problems receiving, only sending. I am using windows live mail.

I noted that they smtp name may have changed.
In fact, http://help.talktalk.co.uk/app/answers/detail/a_id/1668/ does not list the SMTP name you listed.
Maybe you are confused about why the POP3/SMTP names never have to match your email name?

Hi Bob,
I have checked with Talk talk and according to them all my settings are correct. I can send emails using there somewhat inadequate site and I receive them, which makes me think the problem is with windows live mail. I have tried using there help page but without success, but perhaps that's me.
Tony.

Could be settings. Could be a firewall or antivirus issue. Could be malware.
I'd start trying another email client for a test. Thunderbird is free and not so very difficult to setup. If that doesn't work either and gives the same error message, it's not WLM but some other cause.
