For some reason, the emails from my POP3 email accounts aren't downloading to the inboxes in Windows Live Mail 2012. The error message is:
Unable to send or receive messages for the --- account. The connection to the server has failed.
Server: 'pop.freeuk.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: POP3
Port: 110
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10060
Does anyone know how I can make this work again please? Any help greatly appreciated.

Are you logging into the FreeUK service? It wont let you send/receive unless your logged into the service to prevent spammers.
Their wording.....
.1 Can I send mail via the FreeUK mail server when I'm not dialled into FreeUK?
No. This is because people were mis-using the open server to send UCE. Only people dialled into FreeUK or sending mail to FreeUK customers can use it now.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
