ok here the error I get I can receive but can't send. I am so sick of
this mail crap seems every 2 months i have same problem, I wish I didn't
get this it's nothign but problems at first i thought it was my server
but it's not I can get into everything and I can receive. just can't
send.
( Error )
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'hi', Account:
'pop.foothills.net', Server: 'pop.foothills.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
 
For outgoing (SMTP) email, the server name usually contains "smtp", not
"pop".
I was able to telnet to the incoming POP server, pop.foothills.net
but not to smtp.foothills.net
I tried mail.foothills.net, and that seems to be an open server, but
you better check with Foothills, because I can't find any help on their
site.
 
I am using Windows mail and have a gmail account. I can receive but not
send. What's up ?
 
You probably need to change the outgoing port number, but we can't tell
unless you post the entire error message.
Right-click on the error message, select Copy, then paste into a reply.
 
Unfortunately your provider's website is very primitive and is lacking
in basic information such as the proper settings for email, so I
can't verify the correctness of your settings.
Were you sending from home when that error occurred?
