Error when sending emails through Windows Mail

[Guest]

I seem to be receiving all my emails and can view them through Windows Mail.
However, I cannot send messages using Windows Mail and am provided with the
following error:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Subject', Account:
'email.cudenver.edu', Server: 'email.cudenver.edu', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

How do I connect to the server if I am not already connected? Also, is this
problematic connection associated with a "Socket Error?"

By getting your settings right and getting rid
of incompatible anti virus software.

Also, is this
problematic connection associated with a "Socket Error?"

That is what the message says.

You might try changing your port to 587 via

Tools > Accounts > your email > Properties > Advanced

Then try sending again, also...

Which antivirus are you using?

Are you sure the school offers SMTP service?
I scoured their website, but could only find a reference to webmail:
