Can't send or receive mail

[Jennifer Langille]

This seems to be a common topic...Here's the error message I get when I open
Windows Mail:

The host '(e-mail address removed)' could not be found. Please verify that you
have entered the server name correctly.
Subject '', Account: 'POP3', Server: '(e-mail address removed)', Protocol:
SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11003, Error Number:
0x800CCC0D

Thanks for your time.

Your SMTP server name is incorrect. Replace

(e-mail address removed)

with

smtp1.sympatico.ca

on the "Servers" tab or your account setup and you should be in business.

The server name should not have an "@" symbol in it.
Here's a link to setup instructions I found for OE (WM is pretty much the
same)...
