Cannot send email but can recieve

[Maria]

I get this error message:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject 'test', Account: 'mail.bellsouth.net', Server:
'mail.bellsouth.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket
Error: 10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

Any thoughts.

go into "tools"
"Accounts"
click "default mail"
in properties "servers"
and change POP3 to mail in incoming mail
and the same in out going mail
this should work

"Unexpected " termination is almost always caused by interference
from a non-compatible antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

If turning off your antivirus email scanning function does not resolve
your problem, consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it
is less prone to suffering bad effects from overly intrusive antivirus

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons
