I cant send email on windows mail

[Gary VanderMolen]

Verify that you have SMTP authentication enabled:
Tools, Accounts, select the Cox account, Properties, Servers.
Make sure "My server requires authentication" is checked.

Yes, I was sending from home. This email in particular I was sending to my
work email just as a test to see if it would go through. Before that I also
tried sending to other friends and those would not go through either.

Were you sending from home when you got that error message?
Cox does not support using their SMTP server when away from home.

"(e-mail address removed)" is not a proper mail server name. Some of your other
mail account settings are also incorrect. Follow AOL's directions for

[Guest]

smtp isn't a valid server name. What happens when you try to use it as one
depends on what your internet provider does with invalid names. You need
to ask your email provider (who is probably also your internet provider) for
their instructions for setting up to use their email servers. If they
haven't
written instructions for Windows Mail yet, use their instructions for
Outlook
Express but under Windows Mail instead. The instructions are probably
somewhere on their web site. Or, you could tell us who your email provider
is and see if anyone here already knows where to find the instructions.

If that doesn't help, show us the entire error message, not just a summary
of it.

Just started having the same problem and saw your thread. I've had Avast
since I got my laptop a few months ago with no problems. I hadn't changed
anything in it and the email protection was active. I "terminated" the email
protection feature in Avast and now I can send email again. Maybe something
changed in the updates recently. Hope this might help.

Make sure you are not using incompatible third party security
software. Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee
or Norton security programs. Those will need to be
uninstalled, not just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

If you need additional help, let us know.

Windows Mail tends to have problems with any antivirus that is
configured to check emails.

Hi Frank S.

I bought my new Desk Top about 6 months ago with Vista. I had no issues with
Windows Mail up until 1.5 months ago. I can recieve but cannot send. I
switched over to Outlook and I have the same issues. If there is something
wrong with E-mails and the Anti Viruses it must be a recent thing that poped
up. If it is known that there are issues than it really isn't fair that these
systems are sold like this. I get an Error that tells me there SSL compatable
errors (0x800CCC0F)

Frank G.

I have trouble sending email. When time out pops up it tells me that my
smtp
isnt responding. I have no probs receiving mail. Comp has windows vista
Can anybody help?

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled.

If that isn't it, give us the complete error message.

Wireless users sometimes have that problem, if they get an alternate
wireless
connection that goes through some other internet provider's equipment.
Connections to port 25 that cross over from one internet provider's
equipment to another's before they get to the server are often blocked to
cause problems for spammers.

I take it that ra.org (Rainforest Alliance) is your work office?
Are your co-workers using the same SMTP server (amazon.ra.org)?
Is the owner of the amazon.ra.org server the same entity as the
provider of your Internet connection?
Port 25 SMTP connections are very fussy about not crossing over
to a different provider.
