First, delete everything in your outbox. Wait 6 hrs BEFORE you try to send anything! Ensure you are using port 465 for outgoing and for IMAP 993 for incoming, or POP 995.  Check your antivirus., If you have email scanning turned on, try turning it off. 

BTW, Email username does NOT include @cox.net. I removed email username/pwd from the below for safety.

        I meant the machine running Windows Live Mail. Is it 7 or 10? If 7, how did you get around the TLS problem?

        Hehe, posting your specs again huh? Show off! LOL
