My solution to this problem

[Hornhunter]

I got the home isp smtp.?????.??? from my landlord
i upgraded windows mail to windows live mail
i found that by trying to add my email adress as a http instead of pop3 or
imap
i didn't have to upgrade though
in the account properties under servers i put my landlords outgoing account
information in the outgoing mail (SMTP) Box
after that i went into Outgoing mail Server

check box My server requires authentication (Settings)
and input my landlords outgoing account information with password and
"voila" it works perfectly.
