When i try to send an E-mail thru windows mail it says it tries and then an
error message appears. I know this seams like a common question but I would
apreciate the help. I can send E-mails thru aol. Just fine. But when i try to
reply to a craigs list add, it uses windows mail. So it never works the error
message is as follows
The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.

The rejected e-mail address was '(e-mail address removed)'. Subject
'tailor/sewing/alterations', Account: 'imap.aol.com', Server: 'smtp.aol.com',
Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '505 MAIL FROM sender and AUTH username do
not match', Port: 587, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 505, Error Number:
0x800CCC78
Thank you for any help i can get sorry i dont know enough about computers to
fix this myself
 
What that means is that your return address must be your login name. Change
this in your Windows Mail AOL account settings:

How do I use Microsoft Outlook Express 6 to read and send AOL e-mail?
