Live.com allows using SSL connections only. You should make sure you can check mail via Outlook Express or Mozilla Thunderbird and then apply the same settings to MailBee.NET. The following link describes SSL and other settings for Live.com:

To learn how to enable SSL in MailBee ActiveX, see SslMode property documentation.

The following sample code allows sending mail via Live.com SMTP service:

using MailBee;
using MailBee.SmtpMail;
using MailBee.Security;
using MailBee.Mime;
...

Smtp.LicenseKey = "trial or permanent license key";
Smtp mailer = new Smtp();

SmtpServer server = new SmtpServer("smtp.live.com", "email@live.com", "password");
server.SslMode = SslStartupMode.UseStartTls;
mailer.SmtpServers.Add(server);

mailer.From.DisplayName = "My Name";
mailer.From.Email = "email@live.com";

mailer.To.AsString = "recipient@domain.com";
mailer.Subject = "Report";
mailer.BodyHtmlText = "<html>This is the report.</html>";
Console.WriteLine("Will send to: " + mailer.Message.GetAllRecipients());
mailer.Send();
Console.WriteLine("Sent to: " + mailer.GetAcceptedRecipients());
Console.ReadLine();
