Symptoms:
. Get mail works fine
. Send mail results in "0x800CCC0F IXP_E_CONNECTION_DROPPED Connection
closed" error - every time
. Tried another account on same PC - same problem
. Tried mail account on different PC on same home network (wired) - send
works fine on the other Vista computer (with Live Mail too).
. Sending mail works from Mail on ISP's website
. Problem still exists with Window's Firewall off
Configuration:
. Live Mail version 12.0.1606
. Windows Vista
. Wireless to home network
. ATT Yahoo mail server
. SMTP setting: secure SSL connection, port 465, server requires
authentication (security required by ISP)
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

With some anti-virus (and anti-spam) programs, simply disabling the
e-mail scanning function doesn't really disable it. It simply tells the
program not to flag any messages. It still processes all the messages
and may still cause send/receive problems. What you may need to do is
uninstall the anti-virus program, then reinstall it using a custom
install option and unselect the e-mail scanning component for
installation.
You may want to enable SMTP logging to get more information.
To enable logging select Tools, Options, Advanced, Maintenance,
Troubleshooting. Check the box to enable and click APPLY. Run the
Send/Receive, then click the box uncheck and APPLY.
POP3 enables both POP3 and SMTP logging.
The logging information will be appended to WindowsLiveMail.log in the
same location as the WLM Store Folder (click the STORE FOLDER button
above Troubleshooting to see its location).
The WindowsLiveMail.log grows indefinitely. You may want to rename (or
delete) the current log file before starting logging in order to get a
more manageable file size. WLM will automatically create a new log file
when needed if one doesn't exist.

I just tried to send myself an email through 'smtp.att.yahoo.com:465' w/SSL.
I got an error. Not quite the same as yours:
| Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC78
However, there is much more to my error than that line. I clicked in the
message window which popped up with the error, and then did a right-click,
copy. The entire message, pasted from my clipboard:
| The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was 'x.xx...@yahoo.com'.
|
| Subject '[TEST] Send error?'
| Server Error: 553
| Server Response: 553 From: address not verified; see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html
| Server: 'smtp.att.yahoo.com'
| Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC78
| Protocol: SMTP
| Port: 465
| Secure(SSL): Yes
Do you see the difference between the abbreviated error you posted (leaving
us to do an Internet search on:
| "0x800CCC0F IXP_E_CONNECTION_DROPPED Connection closed"
And hope that we find something relevant?
BTW, the problem in this case is that the 'n.xx...@yahoo.com' email address
is not associated with the account loging. Yahoo! Mail servers are tricky
that way; your "Sender:" email address must either match your login ID, or
be "verified" through a simple process. I should have used,
'nxx...@yahoo.com', which *is* associated with the login ID. After removing
the period, the email was successfully sent:

Anyway, I hope this illustrates the need to include the *entire* error
message, not just some failure code. There may be a clue in the information
you failed to provide. But it isn't a failure of WLM to connect with
'smtp.att.yahoo.com'; my headers are from a test message making just that
connection.

Bad form. You should learn how to use the tool. Also, did you know that you
don't have to access these groups using a browser? Using a client, even
Windows Live Mail, is much more convenient! Just click on the "Newsgroup"
icon at the bottom of the Windows Live Mail window, then click on the "Add a
newsgroup account". Use 'msnews.microsoft.com' as the server name; login name
and password are not required for this server.

Given that people tend to confuse Windows Live Hotmail, Windows Live Mail,
and Windows Mail (thanks to Microsoft frequently changing the names of
services and clients), you really need to specify what you are using.
Windows Live Hotmail? Used to be called, "Windows Live Mail".
Windows Live Mail? Used to be called, "Windwos Live Mail desktop".
Windows Mail? The email client included in Windows Vista, and replaces MS
Outlook Express, formerly included with Windows XP, and earlier.
When you post back your question, best to start a new thread, and choose the
correct group. There is a different group for each of:
Windows Live Hotmail ('microsoft.public.msn.discussion').
Windows Live Mail ('microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop')
Windows Mail ('microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail')
Here's the detailed error text and the Live Mail log text for the same
error:
Error message text:

Interesting. I don't see what is happening, only a difference from my log:
| SMTP: [db] Connecting to 'smtp.att.yahoo.com' on port 465.
| SMTP: [db] srv_name = "smtp.att.yahoo.com" srv_addr = 69.147.64.31:465

It is at this point that the server closes your connection; yet mine

Same problem each time.
I'll probably try AT&T tech support next (using my MS Equipt subscription
support). I'll be sure to post the resolution once it happens. It may take
a few more days since I need to find the time to continue to work this
problem.
Thanks again,

If you research my posts on this forum? You'll find that the first
problem was due to Norton Antivirus. The next problem was due to AT&T
changing the smtp mail gateway name. This time???? I have no clue as to
why I can't send email.
I too am using MS OneCare and have NEVER had an issue due to OneCare.
This could be the first....but who knows.

I wish somebody would look at what this 'Microsoft Unified Security Protocol
Provider' thing is doing. Two posters have logs showing a client misbehaving
exactly at the point where this thing is being invoked. It appears that MS
Outlook Express does not have it. Unfortunately, the MS Outlook users have a
similar problem are not posting logs, so I can't tell if OL also uses this
tool.
> So, what's the deal with 'Microsoft Unified Security Protocol

Bingo! I have no idea what it does, but it is the same in both your log, and
Brian's log. And, in my logs, where I am sending successfully, I don't get a
"server closed the connection" after that entry. And MS Outlook Express does
not have it; nor do any other non-MSFT clients.
I have seen two posters using MS Outlook 2003, one with problems on the
'at&t Yahoo! HSI' secure mail servers, and another with an unspecified
message submission port to Gmail. I know that Gmail also uses port 465 with
SSL, and am trying to get that poster to post logs. I'd really like to know
if MS Outlook 2003 is also using this thing. It really is starting to look
like this may be the cause of the problem. And neither AT&T tech support,
nor Yahoo! Mail tech support (because their servers are involved) will know
squat about this, 'Microsoft Unified Security Protocol Provider',
thingamajig.
Right now, my money is on this being a Microsoft issue.
I doubt it. I have the same type of accounts as the two individuals who
reported trouble (AT&T Yahoo! and Gmail, both using port 465/SSL), and
have had no service interruptions. If it was a Microsoft bug, you'd be
seeing a lot more complaints about it here.

I doubt it is a server issue for the same reason you doubt it is an MSFT
issue.
I am just wondering if it is a corruption in the "provider". Not,
necessarily, a generic bug, because I can successfully send through
'smtp.att.yahoo.com:465' with WLM 12.0.1606. Rather, something broke in a
particular installation. I'd like to get more data, but those reporting the
failures are often not technically inclined, and don't understand the
importance of providing logs, or even details, such as version numbers. A
poster with a similar issue in the 'sbcglobal.help.tech.email' group says
only: Vista, Windows Mail. Better than most, but still lacking such details
as whether SP1 is installed, or the Windows Mail version number. I've asked
him for a log, as well as the poster with the Gmail failure.
Thanks,
Brian

Looks like through the searches that this 'Microsoft Unified Security

Is there ANY mail client software that runs on the local box that will
work?? I just want to put an end to this once and for all. :confused:

So now...the plot thickens...why does a secondary mail client work and

I've been wrong before, and maybe now, as well. Three users of MS Outlook
2003 are also having troubles, on *two* different secure servers:
smtp.gmail.com:465 w/SSL
smtp.att.yahoo.com:465 w/SSL
One has posted his connection log, and the 'Microsoft Unified Security
Protocol Provider' is not mentioned. Also a use of Windows Mail, which comes
with Vista. He has not posted his connection log, yet.
So far, I see people having trouble with SSL on two different secure SMTP
servers, using three different MSFT clients; and nothing common between
them.

Poster has posted a log from Outlook 2003. Using 'smtp.gmail.com:465'. I am
going to try and track down the other threads. I'd be curious about access

'smtp.mail.yahoo.co.jp:465'
I will configure the Vista laptop later, to test them with Windows Mail. I
already tried 'smtp.att.yahoo.com:465' with Windows Mail to get a log. I'll
probably log 'smtp.gmail.com:465' and 'smtp.mail.yahoo.co.jp:465' there, as
well.

I uninstalled MS OneCare, which was even more of a pain than I anticipated.
I could easily uninstall it, but when I went to reinstall it with the MS
Equipt product disk, the only option it presented with the install program
was to UNINSTALL all of MS Equipt, which of course includes MS Office and a
few other apps (there was no repair option, no individual app option, etc.).
So I uninstalled all of Equipt. But Live Mail still would not send - same
exact error. I reinstalled Equipt (including OneCare) and the problem still
persists.
I'm ready to remove the att/yahoo subaccount that is giving me this problem
but I don't believe this will help either because (1) it's also happening on
the same computer with a different mail account and (2) it's not happening
on another computer on the same home network with either of the mail
accounts. So this seems like a machine specific problem, but who knows at
this point. I've run out of things to try.

One poster in the AT&T Midwest forum of DSL Reports, posted a solution which
worked for him here:

Deleting the secure key worked perfectly. :D
In Windows Live Mail:
1. Click on *Tools*
2. Click on *Safety Options*
3. Click on *Security*
4. Click on *Digital IDs*
5. Under the *Personal* tab you will see a digital id. Highlight it and
click the *Remove* button.
6. Start up Windows Live Mail and start sending....at least this is
what fixed it for me as well. :D
