i am on my son`s computer, trying to connect windows mail.I have put in
exactly what is on mine and i get error message The host 'SMTP' could not
be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly.
Subject 'test', Account: 'POP3', Server: 'SMTP', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

but everything is correct like mine, so what am i doing wrong?


i have spent all day tring to work it out please help someone
 
Both connected to through the same ISP??? Is both connected trough the same router or switch box ??
 
yes they are ,i only have virgin media and for some reason i pick up one
email address from virgin and the other from windows mail. i have a wireless
router
 
I doubt that you have duplicated all the settings.
The incoming server name you used: "SMTP" is not valid.
Mail server names are typically something like smtp.ispname.com.
