I've set the defaults etc...but still get the same error message.
Have looked at some of the other problems simiar to mine.
It looks like you have to download MSN messenger windows livebefore windows
mail will recognize your personal accounts as its default server...just a
thought

You can't uninstall Windows Mail.

Please give us the exact and complete error message.

So far it reads like your outgoing (SMTP) server is not set up properly.

You really need to be more definitive.
Exactly what do you mean by "your personal accounts"?
By any chance is your preferred email service a MSN or Hotmail
web-based service?
