I can receive mail, but cannot send. I receive "The connection to the server
has failed" message. Socket error 10013, error Number ox800cccoe.Morri
 
We need to see the complete error message. Right-click on it,
copy, then paste it into a reply here.
 
I have a similar problem when sending mail to newsgroups, so here is mine:

Windows Mail could not post your message. Subject 'LOCI', Account:
'newsgroups.bellsouth.net', Server: 'newsgroups.bellsouth.net', Protocol:
NNTP, Server Response: '441 Posting Failed (Rejected by POST filter)', Port:
119, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 441, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9

Newsgroups aren't supposed to accept mail - only newsgroup posts.

Also, the POST filter checks what you try to send for certain problems,
such as pictures in a text-only newsgroup (most of those that don't have
..binaries. in the name).

Check your settings here:

The Windows Mail settings for newsgroups are hidden under instructions
for Internet Explorer; follow the part of the instructions for Outlook
Express, but under Windows Mail instead, and them follow the additional
instructions for Windows Mail at the bottom.
 
Sending a message to a newsgroup is called "posting", not
emailing.

Try this:
Tools, Options, Send, in the News Sending Format section be sure
that Plain Text is selected. Click on Plain Text Settings, select
Uuencode, OK. Try posting again.
 
Thanks, Gary. That apparently worked. I'm still perplexed over the fact
that I kept getting those POST error messages with the postings still in my
outbox even though the posts had been sent. I made the changes you
suggested and deleted all in my ng outbox.
