You need to change the SMTP Port number from 25 to 587

See all the account settings here:

WM settings are exactly the same as Outlook Express.
 
thanks. but I saw the problem. For some reason there shows 2 accounts. I
changed the outgoing email to the second account and they went. Must have
had did sommething wrong setting this up. one account has my old sent mail,
the other has the newly sent mail and everything else. How can I import
sent mail from one account into another? If possible then I can delete the
second account.

Select (highlight) the messages you want moved. Right-click on them,
then select 'Move to Folder'.

Good catch attention to detail. Thanks. Now I have recovered messages
folders to contend with. Why did they show up and do I delete or keep them?
 
You can delete them.
'Recovered' messages happen when the program was abruptly terminated.
