    I recently adopted the windows live mail to handle all my email account; however, I am able to receive and read all emails from all accounts, but I can't send out emails. It says:

    An unknown error has occurred.

    Subject 'Re: testing'
    Server Error: 421
    Server Response: 421 Cannot connect to SMTP server 72.14.205.109 (72.14.205.109:25), connect error 10060
    Server: 'smtp.gmail.com'
    Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC67
    Protocol: SMTP
    Port: 25
    Secure(SSL): Yes

    How can I configure to make this works? Thanks

    AFAIK, Gmail does not use port 25 for SMTP. It uses port 465 with SSL...

    See if these settings help > http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=86383
