Do you get an error message when you try to send? If so,
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.

It's somewhere in the McAfee Security Center. This is old, but it may help
you find it.

To turn off e-mail scanning in McAfee:

Instead of disabling e-mail scanning in McAfee the OP would be better served
by totally getting rid of McAfee.
McAfee often causes problems. Sometimes they don’t show up immediately.

Replace McAfee with the free AVG http://free.grisoft.com/ or Avast
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html, and Windows Firewall and Windows
Defender. Disabling McAfee is not enough. It needs to be completely
uninstalled.

Which one..
Enter the Outgoing server and port or Disable email scanning in your AV client ?
The former, right click on account in the left hand folder pane, selecte properties(the fields for each can be found on the Servers
and the Advance tab)
The latter, check your AV manual or search for instructions on your AV provider's web site.

The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Live Mail", and read
the "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help
determining the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service
provider.

WHY IS THIS happening? I have tried everything.

You jumped in the middle of someone else's thread . . . . .

Try going to the account in Tools - Accounts - select it - Properties -
Servers tab - click on the checkbox, "My server requires authentication" (at
bottom).

Amber, that's not the complete error message.
Right-click on your error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
The part you left off will look something like this:

Subject 'test'
Server: 'smtp.comcast.net'

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP

Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10013

In the future, please start a new thread instead of jumping into a thread
started by someone else.
