Issues with sending

[Jack]

This is what I found using Google...

Outlook Express no socket error 10060 0x800CCC0E by Connectto.net
If you are getting an error like this- "The connection to the server has
failed"
Error: The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'youraccount',
Server: 'mail4.gct21.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket
Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
Here are things to try
1. The Outgoing (SMTP) server requires authentication.
If you are using Outlook Express you should check the box 'My server
requires authentication'.

2. If you are behind a firewall, we may be unable to authenticate you.
If you have a personal firewall, try lowering the security or disabling it
to see if it is causing the issue.
(Remember to re-enable it after testing)

3. Your SMTP (outgoing mail server) could be blocked.
Here is how to test it:
A. Go to Start -> Run -> type: cmd
B. When the Command prompt appears type: telnet smtp.gct21.net 25
(include the spaces exactly as shown above)

C. Wait a few seconds. You should see the following: '220 mail4.gct21.net
ESMTP'. This means that it is not blocked.
D. If you do not see this message, your SMTP is being blocked.

So...I've tried looking at the threads for people who have had issues with
sending but my comp slow and those I have read didn't help unfortunatly.

My error message:
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Re: Please contact me',
Account: 'pop.gmail.com', Server: 'smtp.gmail.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port:
455, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I have followed all the steps on Gmail, and receiving is fine.

Help??

The port should be 465 , not 455, for outgoing mail.
