Server Error 550; Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC78; Mail won't Send

would post it. My mail also receives and does not send. My computer is
brand new and came loaded by Dell with supposedly compatible McAfee. When it
expires I will load my subscription of Webroot Spysweeper Antivirus I used on
my now dead XP machine. I have separate firewall which is also Webroot and I
know how to use Webroot stuff at least but it is not listed as compatible on
the Microsoft Site. I don't have a backup disk of McAfee and frankly Win 7
has been a nightmare. I suppose I will just have to experiment. Lots of
slighty older software is ragingly NOT Win 7 compatible, so I am stuck with
Live Mail which doesn't work either.
It is comforting to know other people are having the same or similar
problem, but shocking that there is no real acceptable solution-- Just do
away with your virus ware and firewall?! I've tried all the different SSL
settings, but I will try again as there are apparently "two places" you have
to worry about. Meanwhile I am fortunate my ISP offers Webmail and that is
where I am sending from for now, and I will keep trying with different
strategies with the virus ware as I have changes coming up in that.

message states the address (your email address) is invalid. Check
Tools|Accounts (select your email account and click Properties). On the
Servers tab, at the bottom, make sure the box for "My server requires
authentication is checked. Then click the Settings button and select "Use
same settings as my incoming mail server." Click OK, Apply, OK.

It's written for Outlook Express, but the WLM settings are similar.
Do you have the My Server Requires Authentication checked as indicated?
The error you are getting means that your ISP doesn't recognize you as
an authorized sender.

At the risk of stating the obvious, the error message says that an address
@acewb.com* is invalid, and RIPE reports no such domain. Your SMTP server
is at aceweb.com*. Perhaps you should check that email address and try
again.

typo in your email address.
Incidentally, the free Microsoft antivirus and firewall are 100% compatible
with Windows 7, which is all I use. The other vendors may need some time
to make their products fully compatible.

You misrepresent a common suggestion by stating it that way.
And I'm not really sure what you're referring to by mentioning
firewall anyway. Essentially the idea is to disable E-mail
scanning if that is enabled, not do anything else with your
AV, unless it is to replace it by something better.

I just upgraded a computer from 32-bit Windows XP MCE 2005 to 64-bit Windows
7 Home Premium. Compatibility issues of some software have been dealt with:
Belkin Power Management load under compatibility mode; told Windows to load
it as "Windows XP; SP2". Family Treemaker is running as, "Windows 98/ME". A
couple of Netgear drivers (for print server and SAN disk) won't go in, but I
am still working on that. Otherwise, everything I have thrown at Windows 7
has worked.
> Just do away with your virus ware and firewall?!
Running the 64-bit version of Windows Security Essentials. Using the native
Windows 7 firewall behind a router.

Per the instructions here:
http://www.aceweb.net/support/email/outlook_6.html
No SSL required. Just check the, "My server requires authentication" box,
and make sure your User Name is your full aceweb.com email address.

Gary VanderMolen
someone else with a different error message.
When you get that repeated prompt for username and password, click Cancel,
which should then produce an error message. Right-click on your error message,
copy, then paste it into a reply here. We can't do much troubleshooting without
the complete error message.
First, test your password by logging in to your provider's webmail.
If that works, it proves you have the correct username and password.
What type of mail account is it, POP, IMAP, or Live/Hotmail?
Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.
For more on why email scanning in your antivirus is bad, see:
