Is cox.net the internet provider for your campus? If not, connections to
port 25 that cross from one internet provider to another are often
blocked to cause trouble for spammers.
Cox doesn't seem to have written instructions for Windows Mail yet,
but their instructions for Outlook Express should work under Windows
Mail as well if they don't call for using the HTTP protocol.

Some email providers insist that you enter your username with
no CAPITAL LETTERS. Some insist that you follow it with
the part of your email address starting with @, and some insist
that you do not.
