Recieving e-mail in Windows Mail (again)

[Tony]

Hi, I can send but not recieve AAARGGHHH. Error messae is:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account:
'mail.mc2wealth.com', Server: 'smtp.aol.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 550,
Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Any ideas anyone??

Sorry meant to say sending- eejit.
Long week.

The outgoing (SMTP) port should be 587, not 550.
See this for the proper settings...

Still not working, I have re-set it at 587 but get following:



The rejected e-mail address was '(e-mail address removed)'. Subject 'test',
Account: 'mail.mc2wealth.com', Server: 'smtp.aol.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server
Response: '550 INCORRECT DOMAIN IN MAIL/RCPT COMMAND', Port: 587,
Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC78

You cannot SEND from your (e-mail address removed) account via AOL's outgoing mail
server.

Make sure you have send authentication enabled.
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
The box for "My server requires authentication" must be checked.

Also, make sure your From address includes @aol.com.
If no improvement, are you able to send to other recipients?
