Is live.co.uk using POP on a mail host out of order or discontinued. It worked perfectly for years but has not worked for last 2 days. I get "Unable to send or receive messages for the Live.co.uk (username) account. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems or a long period of inactivity. Server: 'pop3.live.com' Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F Protocol: POP3 Port: 995 Secure(SSL): Yes"

    Thank you.

    That looks a bit beyond my abilities !

    That video poster only had one account. If one has lots does one have to repeat those 3 Registry changes for each email account or is it simply tied to the one instance of WLM.

    I have absolutely no idea what a 20H2 Or feature update is. Can I prevent whatever that/those is/are updating ?

    If I am going to encounter problems with the Registry then yes I expect I do need another video please. I had hoped it would be a simple question of downloading Windows Executable from the website you quoted and then running the exe file then using custom setup (or like the bloke in the YouTube video does). I had hoped this would be sufficient and no Registry changes would be necessary.

    As you know I have multiple email accounts: one gmail, one AOL, three btinternet & one live.co.uk

    Do you think I will need to make Registry changes then ?

    It is because of my concerns about encountering problems that I am very hesitant about doing it myself and am thinking of paying a professional.

    I can't cope with anything difficult or any unexpected computer issues. They frighten me and make me ill. I am a non-techie Senior Citizen !
