Cannot Send Email

[jhawks145]

I am trying to set my work email up where I can receive and send emails from
home. I have got it set up where I am receiving mail but I am not able to
send it. I get this message
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Here are the pictures of
house', Account: 'Work', Server: 'boston.co.***.**.**', Protocol: SMTP, Port:
25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I have used stars to block some of the server details in this question. My
work email is Outlook Express and it has a help page with all their
information but I cannot find the right server name to go under to send mail.

You cannot send email from home because you are not connected to the same server that you connect to at work.
Most ISP's block sending mail from an another ISP connection using port 25 due to the problems with spammers.
Call your work ISP (or company IT rep) and see if they have a port option you could use to send mail out.

In addition to what Richard suggested, as an alternate workaround you
can substitute the SMTP server that belongs to your home ISP.
