I can receive my e-mails through my ISP using Window Live Mail but I can't send e-mails. Everytime I tried to send I get following error message: "A TCP/IP error occurred while trying to connect to the server. Subject 'test' Server:"My ISP mail provider's e-mail account' Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC15 Protocol: SMTP Port: 25 Secure(SSL): No" I checked with my service provider, they tried different thing still still the same. I use Mcafee, I checked and found the following message; "20/06/2011 4:20:10 PM Blocked by port blocking rule C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe Anti-virus Standard Protection:Prevent mass mailing worms from sending mail IP address" I had XP and I never had this problem. I would appreciate any advice to fix this problem.

Hi shape58, The error message said it's blocked by port blocking rule. Follow these: 1. Right-click the McAfee icon, click VirusScan Console. 2. Right-click Access Protection, then click Properties. In the Rules list, select "Prevent mass-mailing worms from sending mail", click Edit. Under "Processes to exclude", add wlmail.exe to the list. 3. Click OK.
