Error Message

I recently uninstalled Microsoft Office Trial Version. I did'nt need all that
stuff and realize I didn't need Outlook, because Live did almost the same
thing. I thought all my protocals were set up properly, but now I'm receiving
the following error after using my email all day.

The connection to the server has failed.

Subject 'Costa Rica'
Server: 'smtp.myersinternet.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10060

Please help someone that doesn't know a lot

Thanks

Myersinternet.com appears to be a web hosting company rather than an ISP.
As such, your real ISP will likely block attempts to use a port 25 SMTP server
that is not owned by them. For more on this policy, see

Some ISPs block access to other SMTP mail servers while connected via
them. (They block TCP/IP port 25 except to their own SMTP mail server.)
Some of these ISPs will make exceptions if you present a compelling
reason to do this. The error messages may indicate network is
unreachable, access denied, or timeout errors (socket errors 10051,
10061 and 10060.) Another workaround for this is to use the SMTP mail
server of the service that you connect via, but leave your other
settings the same. In some cases you can use Port 587 or 465 rather
than port 25 (specify in WLM at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties,
Advanced). Your ISP is more likely to allow this port. The SMTP mail
server has to support this port. SMTP Authentication will likely be
required. In WLM this is specified in Tools, Accounts, Mail,
Properties, Servers, Outgoing Mail Server, My Server Requires
Authentication.
