SMTP SENDING ERROR in VISTA

[Steve Peterson]

Hello

Yesterday I took the plunge and installed Vista on my box from Windows XP
Proefessional. Now I'm having problems with Outlook 2003. I set up my email
account exactly as I have for the past 5 years on XP. I have no problem
recieving email, but I can not send. I keep getting the following error:

Tasl "My Account" reported error (0x80042109) : 'Outlook is unable to
connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive
this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider
(ISP).'

I have tried everything: Enabled ports in Windows Firewall, then disabled
Firewall, I can ping and tracert to my smtp server, so I know it is up and
running, plus I can log (using exact same crediatials) in via the webmail
they have (Network Solutions) and send just find.

All I know is that my account worked just fine on XP yesterday and now it
doesn't on Vista.

Can anyone help out?

Thanks

I'm having the exact same problem. Only my problem is conflated by the fact
that one of my email accounts WORKS with Outlook 2007 (Vista) and one doesnt.
Both are POP/SMTP accounts.
