Hi, can anyone please help, I am trying to send email using aol and windows
mail but my messages are not sending, this is the message that I am getting:
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Emailing: Pirate party
march 2008 001', Account: 'imap.aol.com', Server: 'smtp.aol.com', Protocol:
SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
 
Most versions of the McAfee antivirus program cause assorted problems
in Windows Mail, as do most versions of the Norton antivirus program and
a recent version of the Trend antivirus program. To stop them from causing
problems, you have to uninstall them, not just disable them. You often have
to run a cleanup program to take care of what the uninstall left behind:

You may even have to remove your email account under Windows Mail,
then restart Windows Mail and create the account again.

Also, you may want to check if your settings for the AOL account are
correct:

If this solves your problem, you may want a replacement antivirus
program that doesn't cause such problems. I recommend either
avast! or AVG, either one with a custom install that tells it to
leave out the part that scans email:
