LiveMail Not Sending or Receiving Emails

I am using the latest version of LiveMail. Yesterday I sent 5 emails only to
later find them stuck in the Outbox. I clicked the sync button and LiveMail
would begin "receiving email...working on line" only to get stuck there. I
used Live Esssentials to repair LiveMail but it remained the same. I also
uninstalled and reinstalled the program only to have it remain the same.

Since I used MSN, I opened the web based service to send the emails. They
were not there. I am guessing since they were stuck in the Outbox, they
could not appear in MSN. I then moved each email to the draft folder of MSN,
however they remain unavailable in the web based service. I then changed the
"From" email address to another email service in LiveMail, still no joy.

Finally I was forced to use this web based newsgroup to ask for assistance.
I wrote an email to the newsgroup in LiveMail, however, it is stuck in the
Outbox.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
