Hi, pdaly28, and welcome to the forums.

First of all, I am going ot say a couple of things - your error message is telling you exactly what the problem is - it cannot find a server named imp to send mail to.

I suppose a better way to go about this is to ask the following questions:

You say you're using a 64bit OS = which one?
What exactly are you trying to do here? Program name? Last time it worked, if any?
Have you verified your settings are correct? Are you really trying to send an email via a server called 'imp'?

this is simply the message I received when I attempted to e mail a photo to a friend.I am not a whiz on computers,but sending photos on my old computer w/xp was a cinch.I thought my server was pop3,I don't know where 'imp'came from.As far as the jeep involved in the message,it was on craigs list and i was trying to send it to my son.As for the 64 bit,I am not sure which one it is.
again,thanks,Pat

OK, let's start over - what is the program you are trying to use? Windows Mail, Thunderbird, Eudora, Outlook, ....

Has it ever worked with sending mail before this?

have you ever sent pictures before this?

Are you trying to send the picture from a web page directly, using your *browser*?

For reference: POP3 (Post Office Protocol v3) is a protocol - like TCP/IP. Internet explorer *uses* TCP/IP but you don't go to TCP/IP when you visit a web page - you visit a server, like the one here called Vistax64.com. The same holds true for email - for most setups, you don't just send mail via something named POP3 - that is the protocol - more than likely your need to send it via something like pop.cox.net.

Also, realize that the POP3 protocol is for *receiving* mail - not sending mail. most often mail that is leaving your computer makes use of another protocol called SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).

Finally, if you are trying to send this to someone using your browser, we need to know the browser. If you copied the picture on your HD and are trying to send it there, we need to know the program you are using. That is why I asked all those questions before - we *really* need those answered before we can say "Do this" or "Change that."

OK,Let me try to answer your questions
I am using windows(thru windows live photo)
I have no trouble with e-mail thru hotmail
I have not been able to send a photo this way(or any way for that matter)
I am trying to send this picture via email(email button on live photo)
And the pop3 and 'imp'came from the error message
 

My Computer

Therein lies the problem - you have not configured Windows Live Photo on how to send email correctly, and thus it is trying to use what was possibly already there - I am guessing that in the settings it has a 'message' under server that says something like 'important - enter your server name here'.

Is Windows Live Photo something that you downloaded or did it come with your Vista installation? Or is Windows Live Photo a website, like Microsoft Hotmail or Windows Live Spaces and such? If so, then you are using a browser to view those photos, and will probably nee to set up your Windows Live Photo to send the photo.

Again, I am shooting in the dark here because I don't send photos like you do - I open Hotmail and create an email and attach photos and send them like that, or use my Outlook, or Thunderbird - but all three have the exact same procedure - create an email, click the attachment button, find the picture, attach it and click send.

I would love to send them via an attchment,but so far have not been able to do it.
window live photo came with the computer/and vista

with xp all i had to do was turn on my camera,plug it into my computer and it loaded in the photo section
 

My Computer

you can send them an attachment - load the photos to your HD (typically into a folder called Pictures) and then open Hotmail, start your email, and then attach the photos - there is probably a size limit, but you can experiment by sending yourself attachments to get an idea o how many you can actually send.

I am not able to get to Windows Live Photo at the moment because I do not have it installed, and thus cannot tell you more - I know there is some sort of configuration that needs to be performed, but I am not sure what it is as of yet.
