Can't send e-mail with windows mail

[Guest]

I have just purchsed a new laptop with window vista OS. I set up pop3 my
email accounts and can initially send and receive emails through the windows
mail. I just recently started to have problems sending mails. Every time I
send email throgu the windows mail I get the following error messages:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'Chris Broderick', Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol:
POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10053, Error Number:
0x800CCC0F

Needs to resolve this. Thanks

It is very likely that this problem is caused by your antivirus
program. Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee
or Norton security programs. Those will need to be uninstalled,
not just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see
