OK all you Windows 7 guru's I have a customer with a Windows Live Mail problem. (WLM)

She wants to use it (I can't talk her out of it) and has now come up with this problem, she gets an error # 0x8007007A, I have checked all ports and her POP settings, and I'm stuck, I can't get her E-mails to come and go through WLM.

I checked her yahoo mail and that is working fine, I had to show her how to attach photos and use that till I can figure out what is going on with WLM. (I don't know why she dose not want to use that, but who knows what a woman really wants)

I'm not that good with software problems I'm a hardware guy.

I may be wrong here but MS changed all the WLM to Outlook. My hotmail acct was WLM and was changed several months ago. My impression from what I have read is that Windows Live was phased out. Then again I might be full of it...

Tell her to move on and use Outlook.
But having said that it sucks big time these days as the seem to be having issues with their spam filters etc. not working right.

I moved over to Mozilla Thunderbird a while back and like it much better.

I went to thunderbird as well. Works great.
