Having trouble sending email from windows mail

[JDE]

This is the error message that I receive when I try and send and email. What
does it mean?

The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.

Where is the second part of the error message? That is the most important.

Had the same problem - following worked for me:
Mail : Tools: Select Account: Properties: Servers: then X in box "my
server requires authetication". worth a try!

Make sure you have send authentication enabled.
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
Enable the "My server requires authentication" option.

I am having the same issue. The "my server requires authentication" option
is checked, my anti-virus outgoing email scanner is turned off; what else can
I do?

Make sure you have send authentication enabled.
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
Enable the "My server requires authentication" option.

Don't just assume that your issue is the same.
If you would like some custom help, right-click on your error message,
copy, then paste it into a reply here. We can't do much troubleshooting
without the complete error message.

A lot of people have the same problem, they can receive but they cannot
send.
If they cannot send how did they send to this group all these messages ???
Mistery

I resolved my problem; as you told me, I installed Windows Live.
Now in my computer I have together Windows mail and Windows Live Mail
And all work very well except WM witch cannot send.
I send you this mail by the forwarding option

Thanks

Most of the users who post questions here do so by using
Internet Explorer and going to the web interface for this newsgroup:

http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...t.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail

I see you posted using the newsreader mode of Windows Mail, which is
actually the better way. Posting that way does not require a working
email send ability either.
