I see you have helped many people in the past. Maybe you can help me. I can
receive e-amil just fine, but I am getting the following error message when
trying to send e-mail

The connection to the server has failed.



Subject 'Fw: Correct Website'
Server: 'mail.homesteadmail.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 587
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 10060

Any suggestions?

Try using the correct server name?

It looks like you should be using, 'smtp.homesteadmail.com' for your
outgoing email server.

Port 587, for some email accounts, at least where used on any of my pop3/smtp capable accounts requires SSL to be enabled, though
yours may be different.

Other things to consider, I don't recall if homestead is an isp, if not yours then use or homesteadmail.com as your outgoing server
for your homestead email account may not be permitted by your isp.

I..e... Setup your outgoing server to use your isp stmp recommended settings.

Actually I'm not aware of any port 587 server that uses SSL.
The OP's problem should be resolved by N. Miller's suggestion, change the
server name to smtp.homesteadmail.com.

I have a number of accounts which require using port 587 for the message
submission server. None require SSL. One requires a variation of SSL: TLS.

However, the server name the OP is using does not even answer Telnet on
*any* message submission port. It appears that she is using an incorrect
server name.

I've two that do. Three if one considers Hotmail Plus(in OL03, OE, WM, WLM) as a separate setup from a legacy Msn.com account(which
also uses SSL on with 587) and one using port 587 that does not require SSL(earthlink).
Fyi...one slight twist for Hotmail Plus, unlike Outlook 03, in OL07, it uses TLS instead of SSL with port 587.

Norm's suggestion should work, just as the isp outgoing server(and required settings), if homestead is not the isp.
