I'm using Windows Live. Have just made a good sale, buyer has contacted me to pick up today but I can't get back to them. I'm NOT terrible savvy with computer terms so make it simple please.
Also put in General in case there's someone over there who knows.

Who is your email provider? (the bit after the @ symbol in your address)
Most providers will have a webmail portal you can use at least until the initial problem is sorted

Do you get a message popping up after you press send? If yes, what does it say? Also, your email providers server could be down. If so, just a matter of being patient until it's back online. Windows Live 2012 is a great email program and still downloadable in the unlikely event you need to do a repair re-instal.

Yes the message pops up it's very helpful. not. It says there's "an unknown error".

Probably the mail server no longer supports such an out dated mail client. Set up thunderbiord, or emclient to get your email, or use webmail.

WLM should work fine, does for me.

OP hasn't bothered us with the details of the service they are using. So its anyones guess, microsoft and gmail certainly don't like old mail clients.

So you say. Not my experience. In fact I have two gmail accounts and an outlook.com account loaded in WLM. Works perfectly.
To be fair, Gmail considers pretty much anything non-google to be 'less secure'

Modern versions of Thunderbird support OAuth so should work without turning on insecure apps in Gmail.
You shouldn't be using an ancient mail client like WLM anyway - the web was a kinder place when that was released and security standards have moved on.
