Windows Live email problems ...

MimiJane

I can't seem to send more than 2 emails to the same email address in Windows Live without getting an error message up (e.g. when doing Love It mags comps.).

Anyone else get this and is there a work-around? I know I can always use another email to send, but it's just a bit of a nuisance.

Thanks.

Have you verified your email address? I do sometimes have it asking me to solve a captcha before sending an email, because I haven't yet verified it (by giving them one of my phone numbers) but it still allows me to send the email after I have answered the captcha.

Thanks. I wasn't aware you had to verify your email address, but this may well have been done by the guy who installed my desktop.

Googling it, it seems that you get a message asking you to verify it - any idea how I can find out if it's verified or not?

Sorry, not sure. I haven't used them for long, maybe other members here have more detailed knowledge about them?

I'm not currently using Windows Live Mail, but it might be worth removing your email settings in Live Mail, then putting them in again. There may be something wrong with the settings.

Who is your email with? Can you send more than one email to same address from the server, rather than using WLM?

Possibly others have better ideas with this problem?

Good luck

Thanks, but no idea of how to do any of this, so may have to put up with it. If I remove the settings and try to input them again, I'm bound to end up in a mess!

Maybe I'll try the techie forum, although might be a bit too techie for me!

Should be quite straightforward.

Who is your email provider?

MimiJane

My ISP is IDnet (part of BT I believe).

Sorry, no experience with IDnet.

Does IDnet have techie forums where you can ask questions or look for information?

Can't think what else to suggest.

Possibly someone will be able to help further.
