Host address can't be found and Socket Error Number:OX800CCOD

[Heimo44]

I have listed 3 email addresses and have Protocol POP3 when I created my
Windows Mail account, however, every time I try to send an email a window
opens and says "host cannot be found" (even though it's one of my 3
listings). Then it says Account '(e-mail address removed)' Server
'(e-mail address removed)' Protocol: POP3 Port 110, Secure(SSL) No. Socket Error:
Number:OX800CCOD.
What do I have to do to send a damn Windows email ?

You appear to have an incorrect server name. It should be something like
mail.isp.com or pop.isp.com, there is no "@" in a server name, only periods.
Check with your ISP for the correct name for this server.

Server names never contain an '@'.

The server name you are using is not correct. Get the correct server name
from your mail provider.
