Windows Mail can't send or receive

[Bucko]

I can not configure windows mail. This is what I receive when I try to send
mail.
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'lost code', Account:
'pop.tds.net', Server: 'smtp.tds.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 15, Secure(SSL):
No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E.
Do you kind folks need any additional info?

The SMTP server is usually accessed via port 25, not 15.
Try changing it to 25.
Tools- Accounts - youraccount - Properties - Advanced

Dave, I wonder if you can help me with Windows Mail sending problem. Every
since I got my new computer I was never able to get it to send mail. The
following is the error message I got whenever I try to send anything.

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Status check', Account:
'(e-mail address removed)', Server: 'acanac.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I doubt if the server name is correct and it may use a different port. The
email provider should have instructions.
