I can't send email from my windows live mail

The connection to the server has failed.

Subject 'Fw: '
Server: 'smtp.gmail.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 445
Secure(SSL): Yes
Socket Error: 10060

This is the error message that I get.

Wrong port. Use 465 instead of 445.

Wrong newsgroup, too! You'll find support for Windows Live Mail (WLMail) in
this public newsgroup: microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

Via the web-interface:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...e.mail.desktop

Via your newsreader:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...e.mail.desktop

PS: You don't need to use POP3 access in Windows Live Mail!!
