Getting very furstrated cause I can not send emails and keep getting errors such as:
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'Metro Sports Consultants', Server: '995', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10051, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
Having continous problems with error messages when trying to send emails such as:
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'Metro Sports Consultants', Server: '995', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10051, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
That symptom is usually caused by interference from an antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running? As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus should be turned off, although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects. In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.
If no improvement after disabling email scanning, consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects from overly intrusive antivirus programs: http://download.live.com/wlmail

To resolve this behavior, change the SMTP server for your e-mail account to use the MSN SMTP server. To do this: - In Outlook Express, click *Accounts* on the *Tools* menu. - Click the *Mail* tab, select the account that you want to change, and then click the *Properties* button. - Click the *Servers* tab. - Under *Server Information*, delete the entry that is in the *Outgoing mail (SMTP)* box, and then type smtp.email.msn.com. - Under *Outgoing Mail Server*, click to select the *My server requires authentication* check box, and then click the *Settings* button. - Under *Logon Information*, click *Log on using*. - In the *Account name* box, type you MSN Member ID (everything before the at sign (@) of you MSN e-mail address). - In the *Password* box, type your MSN account password. - Click to select the *Log on using Secure Password Authentication* check box. - Click *OK* to close the *Outgoing Mail Server* dialog box. - Click *OK* to close the *<-Mail Account-> Properties* dialog box. - Click *Close*.
