Randomly but alot lately, I keep getting this error message that the server
has an error and it may be due to things like memory and other things. I have
checked my memory and it is good. I really like windows mail but I always get
random errors. I only use it for AOL mailboxes as that is all I have. Does
anyone have any suggestions? Is there a comparable product out there?
 
Next time you get an error message, right-click on your error message,
copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.
 
I too am getting a similar error message using my AOL e-mail. Here's the
error message:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Re: NEW EMAIL ADDRESS',
Account: 'imap.aol.com', Server: 'smtp.aol.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I'm not sure what this error message means or what I need to do. Thanks,
 
Change port 25 to port 587.

Also make sure you have send authentication enabled:
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
Enable the "My server requires authentication" option.

The complete settings for AOL accounts are documented here:
http://postmaster.aol.com/imap/express.html

Those instructions were written for Outlook Express, but
Windows Mail uses the same settings as Outlook Express.
