Outgoing mail failure

[JanieB]

I have recently set up windows mail and incoming mail is fine but I keep
getting a failure notification for outgoing mail. Help anyone? I have tried
using 587 for the outgoing port but to no avail.

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject 'test', Account: 'pop.tiscali.co.uk', Server:

1. Is your computer connected to the Tiscali/TalkTalk network?
2. Disable email scanning in your antivirus program, as it interferes with
WM.

I'm having the same problem Janie. You can lay your head on my shoulder for
support if you like .

The error "unexpectedly terminated" is usually caused by interference
from an antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus should be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

Email scanning in any antivirus should be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

If no improvement after disabling email scanning, consider upgrading
to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects
from overly intrusive antivirus programs:

How does that help Janie?
If you would like some custom help, describe your problem in detail,
and include a copy of any error message you get.

Try using smtp.talktalk.net as the Outgoing server?

Tools>accounts>select your account>properties>server tab.

If it fails put it back as previous.
