    Did not work. I have my outgoing set to smtp.live.com:587 This is correct format right? It still does the same thing.


    EDIT: i was having problems setting this up in Thunderbird as well. I got Thunderbird working so i no longer need to set this up. Tho it is still annoying and i wouldn't mind solving this issue still.
