Windows Mail freezes while checking emails
I need some help in checking mails on Windows Mail. Things were working fine, but somehow there was issue with the mail configuration. I just installed some new updates and I think they are causing the problem. When I check for new mails it freezes. I have to terminate it through Task Manager and while starting it again, it works. I went to Tools > Accounts > Properties > Connections and tried to verify the connectivity. It still freezed on that.

I am getting this message: "]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 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. The rejected e-mail address was 'czona@neo.rr.com '. Subject '', Account: 'pop-server.neo.rr.com', Server: 'smtp-server.neo.rr.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '501 5.5.2 RCPT TO syntax error', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 501, Error Number: 0x800CCC79
Any suggestions?
re: Windows Mail freezes while checking emails
I know it’s too late reply but it looks that POP3 is not activated for your email account and for that reason you are getting that error message. You can check for that but there may be many other possibility for that. You can refer the below mentioned links which are regarding the same error. I hope that this will help other users who are facing the same issue.
