Solved: Win Live Mail won't send emails

[pikespeakbob]

This just started today: all my Windows Live Mail accounts are not sending emails, they go to DRAFTS and cannot be sent. I seem to be able to receive emails ok but cannot send or reply to any received. The attached file shows the error messages received when trying to sync accounts.

Hello there..

I'd be happy to try and help figure this one out, just a couple questions first..

Are all your accounts on live mail from the same server, such as gmail/yahoo/etc, or do you have multiple acct providers?
Have you verified your outgoing server settings are correct?
Are you still able to send email from the actual server, such as gmail.com?

Thanks for the additional information

I found it was working this morning, checked my emails and found the answer, it seems I wasn't the only one with the problem, the link below explains the outage.

As a follow up on this problem, I stumbled upon this Microsoft Service Status site that allows a quick snapshot on MS problems.
