I am having so many problems ..... PLEASE HELP!

[Nita]

I am continuously having problems with sending messages by Microsoft Mail my
computer always states: The host '(e-mail address removed)' could not be found.
Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly.
Subject 'MEDICAL RECEPTIONIST (HEWLETT)', Account: '(e-mail address removed)',
Server: '(e-mail address removed)', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 11003, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D or The host
'(e-mail address removed)' could not be found. Please verify that you have
entered the server name correctly.
Account: '(e-mail address removed)', Server: '(e-mail address removed)', Protocol:
POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11003, Error Number:
0x800CCC0D.

This issue does not happen once but every time I send a message. How do I
fix this problem? I have many email aacounts (e-mail address removed) is one of
them but it is not going through. In attempt to fix the issue I created a
new email account which is (e-mail address removed). I created it inorder for me to
manually insert it through the Identity Import. NOTHING WORKS!!! It is
extremly annoying PLEASE HELP me......

That error means you entered a mail server name that is not valid.

I see it mentions a Yahoo email address. Is that your only email address?
US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access only, no POP access.
Windows Mail handles POP mail but not Yahoo webmail.
Yahoo's solution is to pay them for premium "Mail Plus" service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/overview/index.html
and use the special settings for that service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-14.html

If you are OK with using a non-Yahoo email address, you have these other
solutions that will work with Windows Mail:
* Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP.
* Use a free Gmail, AOL, or Hotmail/Live account.

You can also continue to use Yahoo's webmail: http://mail.yahoo.com
If you need more help with any of these solutions, just ask.

Hi, i'm also having the same message appear when I try to send emails to
addresses which i know are correct ? Being fairly new to my lap top, can
someone in laymans terms explain to me how to remedy this problem ? I didnt
have this problem with my last lap top. Thanks C.

If you have the same error message, the problem is the same.
(e-mail address removed) is NOT a valid server name. You need to determine your
valid server name by checking with your ISP for it (often something like
incoming.isp.net) there will NOT be an '@' in the server name!

Thanks for that, albeit how do i check with my ISP ? do i need to call them
or can i find the info out from my lap top ?

Call them, or check their web site, should have Frequently Asked Questions
along the lines of 'how do I set up email'.

Who provides your email service? Or to ask that question another way,
what is the part of your email address after the @ symbol?
Your mail provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider. If you currently don't have an email address,
we can help with that also.
