Can receive mail but can't send?

Each time I try to send emails recently I see that WLM tries to 'Connect' but
then seems to time out with the following message. It doesn't seem to make
any difference if it's a plain text email or one with attachments. Can anyone
help? The error message is as follows, though the codes keep changing.

Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail (xxxxxx) account. Windows
Live Mail can't connect to the Hotmail server. To send and receive messages
in your Hotmail account, go to http://hotmail.live.com on the Web, or try
again later.

Did you try pressing F1? From Help:

<quote>
Error 5102: Unable to send or receive messages
Your e-mail account is probably being migrated to a new server. This doesn't effect your e-mail or contacts in any way, and you won't lose any data. Try again in a day or two. If the issue persists, contact Windows Live Mail Support.

service provider, is it yahoo, gmail, aol,comcast ??

It completely depends upon the pop settings and server authenticatio

You can either wait(since it may resolve itself if a server issue).
If that doesn't float your boat...
