outgoing messages won't go

[Pat Davis]

Can u help this senior citizen just getting started with Windows Mail to
correct the following error message. I can see what I did, but can't see
how to verify the server name. Otherwise I think I'll have to go back to
pen and paper! My incoming messages come through OK.

"The host 'smtp.tiscali.co.k' could not be found. Please verify that you
have entered the server name correctly.
Subject 'from me!', Account: 'pop.tiscali.co.uk', Server:
'smtp.tiscali.co.k', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket
Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D"

Many thanks!

Looks like the server name is missing a 'u'.
Tools | Accounts
Select the account and click Properties | Servers.

Change the outgoing server name from smtp.tiscali.co.k
to smtp.tiscali.co.uk.
(Tools, Accounts, select that mail account, Properties, Servers.)
