REASON FOR SMTP ERROR:

Other than various features, Live Mail users can find easy to use, like any other webmail it has also got some tough areas which users have to deal with. The most common error which a Live Mail user can come across is SMTP error which can be a result of an error while setting up the email program. The main source by which this error can occur can be a mistake done either in the user name, password, or server authentication, etc. at the time of sending an email. If the user wishes to correct this error, he needs to know from the email provider about what type of authentication is required by the mail server.

To receive a mail in any e-mail, it is required to use a username and password so that it can be authenticated that the person has the right to receive the e-mails in his account. The Post Office Protocol (POP) handles all of the incoming mails, managed by the users’ e-mail provider.

Several webmail service providers on the other hand do not require the similar authentication for outgoing of mails. Most of the e-mail service providers use the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to manage all of the outgoing mails. If a user gets the error 0x800CCC08, a user can estimate that the email service provider needs the authentication for the outgoing and incoming mails.

A Windows Live Mail user can turn on the authentication on the particular account basis. Before a user continues with the fix, the user must be sure that he’s applying it only to those accounts which come across the error. If a user has added authentication to an account which does not require it may cause additional errors with the account.
