I've learned I can't use my yahoo acct., it's a freebie, but what about my
bellsouth.net acct? I have bellsouth dsl & have no idea how to set it up to
email. Is it POP3 or IMAP? I'm puter illiterate & it's getting late.

Step by step instructions for Vista's Windows Mail:
http://help.bellsouth.net/bellsouth/...2D121587e364c2

POP3, both incoming and outgoing are mail.bellsouth.net

Good luck!

All, I have tried all of the above and still get the following message when
trying to send using bellsouth:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account:
'mail.bellsouth.net', Server: 'mail.bellsouth.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I have two email accounts, one bellsouth.net and the other cox.net. I do
not have this problem when I choose the cox.net as the default account.
However, with the bellsouth account chosen as the default, I can't send. It
goes through the process of communicating, executing, etc. Then I get the
above error. I have tried EVERY solution posted on this discussion group and
I still can't get my bellsouth account to send. Anybody else having this
problem?

As a general rule, ISPs will block outgoing mail on port 25 (SMTP)
unless your computer is connected to their network at that moment.
Not all do this, but most of the bigger ISPs do that blocking for
anti-spamming reasons. The workaround is as follows:
If either of your two ISPs allows outgoing mail on a port other than
25 (typically 465 or 587), use *that* SMTP server for all your sending
needs. There is no requirement that the incoming and outgoing servers
have to be a matched pair.
The other two options are:
a. Always use the SMTP server of the service you are connected to.
b. Get a free GMail account, and use it for all sending chores, since
GMail uses ports other than '25'.

Thanks Gary for your response. Unfortunately I am in the process of moving
from Cox to Bellsouth and will be getting rid of my cox.net account. I will
only be using my Bellsouth account. I guess I will have to take your advice
and get a free GMail account.

David, Use Mozills's Thunderbird! (
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/ )
version 2.0 is now available.

When setting up the SMTP service, keyin the server: mail.bellsouth.net
Select Port: 25
Enter your user id as the signon for SMTP services
and select the Secure button: TLS (if available)

Secure "TLS (if avalable)" is only needed for SMTP not POP
and its requried by Bellsouth/ATT.

You can also set up the Cox email in the same manner and assign a
different smtp agent to
each email address. Both can be setup for viewing under the same
program window.
