I cannot send mail using identical account settings on my new laptop running
Windows Vista Home Premium, the so called new "Windows Mail" and I.E. 7.0.
I get a message saying that mfy smtp server cannot be found, error message
follows:
The host 'smpt.att.yahoo.com' could not be found. Please verify that you
have entered the server name correctly.
Subject 'test', Account: 'pop.att.yahoo.com', Server: 'smpt.att.yahoo.com',
Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 11001, Error
Number: 0x800CC 0D Please help I am possitive all settings are
correct, been doing this a long time and this damn Vista incompatability
with everything I know is driving me crazy. Thanks JHM
 
Your settings are not correct. The SMTP server name should be
smtp.att.yahoo.com instead of smpt.att.yahoo.com.
 
I had made that correction before contacting this group. still cannot send
mail: New error message is as follows: Your server has unexpectedly
terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems,
network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Subject 'test', Account:
'John's_Mail', Server: 'smtp.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465,
Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F (note that whiled performing
tasks I do receive mail ffrom same server with same settings just fine)

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no protection not provided by the regular
resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.
 
With that server, you sometimes need to log on using webmail instead
of Windows Mail, and clean out some of the messages you find there
to avoid problems.
 
As Frank already told you, that error is likely due to interference
from your antivirus. Which antivirus are you running?
