Is this a sudden, new problem or an ongoing one? Have you ever been able to
Send from that account with those settings?

I have just set up Windows mail and I am trying to send my first email
through it.

You have the wrong server name smtp.ncable.com, try mail.ncable.net.au for
both Incoming and Outgoing servers.
Tools>accounts>select your account>properties>server tab.

See settings for Outlook Express. WM uses the same settings.

Port 25 blocking is not a factor when your Internet connection is coming
from the same provider as the SMTP server provider.
