Sending email

[Guest]

I keep getting this message when trying to send an email. I receive all
incoming but cannot send.

The connection to the server has failed. Subject ' lm', Account:
'pop.west.cox.net', Server: 'smtp.west.cox.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Two questions:
Which antivirus program are you running?

When you got that error message, were you at home or away
from home with a laptop?

I am getting the same erro. It happens when I am at home on my NEW Desktop
and I have Norton Antivirus. I ahave both the incoming and outgoing mail
scanning turned off and I do not have IM. Please Help I need to respond to

Just 'disabling' McAfee is insufficient.
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:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see
