A classic error!

The error code 0x800ccc90 is a common issue in Windows Live Mail 2011, and it's usually related to a problem with the email account settings or the connection to the email server.

Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. Incorrect email account settings: Double-check your email account settings, including the username, password, and server settings. Make sure they are correct and match the settings provided by your email provider.
  2. Outdated email client: Windows Live Mail 2011 is an older version of the email client. Try updating to a newer version, such as Windows Live Mail 2012 or Microsoft Outlook.
  3. Corrupted email account settings: Try deleting the email account and re-adding it to Windows Live Mail. This will reset the account settings to their default values.
  4. Server issues: The error could be caused by issues with the email server. Try contacting your email provider to see if there are any known outages or issues.
  5. Firewall or antivirus software interference: Firewalls or antivirus software might be blocking the connection to the email server. Try temporarily disabling these programs to see if the issue resolves.
  6. DNS resolution issues: DNS resolution issues can cause connectivity problems. Try flushing your DNS cache and restarting your computer.
  7. Outdated Windows operating system: If you're running an older version of Windows, it might be causing compatibility issues with Windows Live Mail. Consider updating to a newer version of Windows.
