I am additional user with the same set of problems. Unable to send email from
Windows Mail on Vista Business. Sudden onset, unresponsive to removal of ESET
security software, deleting and recreating email user accounts, or removing
firewall.
Windows Mail Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
AT&T DSL. Yahoo! email provider. Correct settings [trust me.]
No resolution from ESET support or AT&T chat. seems to be another Microsoft
issue.
[There seem to be quite a few related postings of this problem, and
particularly from AT&T subscribers.]
Any suggestions?
