Gary,
I checked everything. I've turned off Trend. That's when things started
to work. The Troubleshooter is still no help. Now when I send I get:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject 'Fw: Test', Account: '(e-mail address removed)', Server:
'imailhost.worldnet.att.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465, Secure(SSL): Yes,
Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
 
Turning it off usually doesn't help. In most cases, you need to uninstall
the program and then do a custom re-install where you can tell the installer
to NOT install any of the email scanning bits. It is quickly becoming true
that email scanners pose more of a computer malfunction threat than does the
malware they are supposed to keep out. The error you posted is very often
the direct result of an email scanner having a bad hair day.

That new error message is most likely caused by your antivirus.
Trend Micro antivirus is among the top three troublemakers for Windows Mail.
First, go into its settings and disable any interaction with email, then try
Windows Mail again. If no improvement, do a trial uninstall.

Another option (instead of uninstalling Trend Micro) is to upgrade to
Windows Live Mail, which is more resistant to the adverse effects of
overly intrusive antivirus products: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

In any case you must disable any antivirus email scanning, for the reason
