Hi all

Trying to switch from Outlook Express (on an XP machine) to Windows Live Mail (on a new W7 machine), got the e-mail set up and contacts over but keep getting this error message

Unable to send or receive messages for the Btinternet (Stanleyback345) account. The connection to the server has failed.

Server: 'mail.btinternet.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): Yes
Socket Error: 10061


When i tried exporting the server settings off the XP machine it comes up with an error message saying something like XP is too old. I also tried to install Windows Live Mail on the XP machine and it won't do that either.


Cheers for any help

edit;

This isn't my pc so im not 100% sure the password is right, ive tried every one it could be though. Is there a way to reset the password?
