Problems setting sending and receiving emails

[mason426]

I keep getting this message when i try to send an email. I am not sure if my
windows mail is set up correctly. Help I do not know what to do.


The host 'SMTP' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly.
Subject 'test', Account: 'windows mail', Server: 'SMTP', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D


Account: 'windows mail', Server: 'POP3', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110,
Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC17

"POP3" and "SMTP" are not correct server names, they are email protocols.

Your email account provider should have the correct server names & settings
on their website.
If you tell us who provides your email account, perhaps someone can help.

HI, I am having the same problem, can receive but cannot send emails. Here is
the message I keep getting.....

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Re: reprint', Account:
'pop.greenbuttoninc.com', Server: 'smtp.greenbuttoninc.com', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10013, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I cannot find a solution through Windows help. Can you help?

You will have to contact Greenbuttoninc.com for the necessary settings.
I can't find anything about an email server there.

Hi, mason426.

As Dave N9 said, POP3 and SMTP are not server names, but many servers use
them as a PART of their name. For example, the MSN mail servers are
pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com. But my ISP's mail servers use
mail.grandecom.net for both sending and receiving.

You'll need to contact whoever you send your monthly check to, probably, to
learn the correct settings for YOUR servers. (Since you posted via the
browser interface, we can't even see the name of your server - the part of
your address after the "@" symbol.)

Greenbuttoninc.com is not your ISP. As such, your home ISP will block
your use of any port 25 SMTP server other than their own.
For an explanation of this anti-spamming policy, see
http://www.postcastserver.com/help/Port_25_Blocking.aspx

Are you sending from home? If so, who is your ISP?
The available workarounds for your issue are as follows:

1. Use webmail for sending (via your browser).
2. Ask the host for greenbuttoninc.com if they have a port other than '25' for SMTP.
3. You can substitute the SMTP server belonging to your ISP. This is a bit
tricky, but if you want to go that route, I can provide more details.
