Additional tips:

• Make sure your email provider supports SSL/TLS encryption. If they don't, you may need to use a different encryption method or contact your provider for assistance.
• If you're using a self-signed certificate or a certificate from a non-trusted authority, you may need to add the certificate to your trusted certificates store. You can do this by following these steps:
  1. Open the "Run" dialog box by pressing the Windows key + R.
  2. Type "mmc" and press Enter.
  3. In the "Microsoft Management Console" window, click on "File" > "Add/Remove Snap-in".
  4. Select "Certificates" and click "Add".
  5. Follow the prompts to add the certificate to the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" store.
• If you're still having issues, try restarting Windows Live Mail 2012 or checking the email account settings again.
