I cannot send or reply to an incoming email.
Hello Jim,
please copy any error message you might see and the Log content of the third tab in the same operations window.
Regards,
Olivia
I don’t know how to copy message but content is: Errors: Live.co (shortmatters): Connecting to Live.co (shortmatters) failed [SMTP] An attempt to connect to Live.co (shortmatters) failed. This could be caused by temporary server unavailablity or incorrect settings. Do you want to check the settings? … It looks to me as if Client tried to send the message to itself and does so every time>

Hello Jim,
seems like your SMTP server is set up incorrectly, can you tell me what is in the SMATP tab for your account in the Menu>Tools>Accounts section?

Olivia
Did a spurious “A” creep in? Did you mean SMTP tab? If so:
Host: smtp.live.com
Port: 587
Security policy: Use SSL/TLS on special port {legacy)
Authentication:
“ticked” Server requires authentication
“selected” Use identity credentials
at foot of panel
“ticked” Enable Service
Sorry about my impatience but I’m having a lot of trouble and using 4 different email clients for different features. I’ve lost a lot of archived information.
Hello Jim,
that was indeed a type and I meant SMTP.
Try changing the Security policy to ‘Use SSL/TLS if available’ and the Port number to 25 and see if that fixes the issue.
If it doesn’t, I suggest adding eM Client to exceptions in your Windows Firewall and Anti-virus software, as perhaps eM Client’s connection to your server could be blocked by a third part application.

Olivia

Thank you.
I made your suggested changes and all the blocked replies cleared at once.! Impressive.
Do I need to know why?
Thanks for your help.
