Cannot send emails out using microsoft outlook 2000. Please help.

[Guest]

Here is the error message that I rceived when trying to send emails:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'mail.prepaidlegal.com', Server:
'mail.prepaidlegal.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error
Number: 0x800CCC0F

Please give advice on how to correct this problem.

Several things you could try depending on your setup (which you did not
include any details on)
-disable any installed outgoing virusscanner
-configure your account to authenticate to your SMTP server
-make sure your firewall allows Outlook to use port 25
-reset your router and/or modem
