Windows mail problem

[JZ]

I cannot send any e-mail with Windows mail, but no problem to receive e-mail.
it comes out error message as:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject 'try', Account: 'mail.XXXXXXX.com', Server:
'mail.XXXXXXX.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 26, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:
10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

How to solve this problem? any idea?

In my personal experience, this is sometimes caused by Anti-Virus and other
Norton applications but more often than not, it clears after a re-boot and a
cup of coffee.

I've a few problems with that, just go to Tools select Accounts
and then select the email account your having problems with, click on
properties, click Advanced tab and where it states Server Timeouts
put the slider further up to like 2 or 3 minutes.

But also check you have the correct smtp for out going mail.

This should sort out the problem.

Port 26 is seldom correct for SMTP connections. See if it helps to change
it
to port 25.

We're likely to need the full server name, without munging, to offer much
more
help than that.

Unfortunately you blanked out the domain name of the server, so I can't
verify your settings. The use of port 26 for SMTP is highly unusual. Are
you sure that is correct?

The next most likely cause is your antivirus. Which antivirus are you running?
Some of them are not very compatible with Windows Mail.
