When trying to send a message I get this error message every time.

The host 'Boy' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly.
Subject 'My Resume', Account: 'Chevy', Server: 'Boy', Protocol: SMTP, Port:
25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

Any help?
 
Obviously "Boy" is not a correct name for a mail server.
You will need to get the correct mail server names from your mail provider.
They will have a web page with all the setup information.
If you tell us who your mail provider is, we can help you with that.
 
Would that be like Yahoo or Hotmail?

Well, perhaps.
The thing is, free Yahoo and Hotmail accounts don't have POP
access, they only have web access via your browser.
One solution is to pay Yahoo or Hotmail $20 per year for their
premium account which does have POP access.

Another solution, for Hotmail only, is to upgrade your Windows Mail
program to Windows Live Mail, which does accept Hotmail accounts:

Finally, all Internet Service providers, like Comcast or AT&T, do offer
their customers a free email account that is included in the price of
Internet service.
 
Well the service provider for us is Clearwire....so would I have to call them
to find out who the mail provider is?
