Hi Gary
read your response and resent original error. read yours and other
potential remedies in other news groups and tried changing the port ,error
message comes back the same. Also tried turning off windows defender in case
that was it and it's spyware. error message never changes.
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'hello', Account: 'orange',
Server: 'SMTP.orange.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 587, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
anything else i can try?
