Windows Mail can't connect

I can access the Internet so I know that I'm connect "OK", but when I try to
access Windows Mail I get "Connection to Server Failed", No sockett error
10013, # ox800cccoe,

Is there a solution without doing System Restore that I can try ?

Thanks
Dick

RE: Windows Mail can't connect

"Connection to Server failed" means that you have the wrong details in your
email program!
Go to Tools>Accounts>Mail> and check the details that your internet Service
Provider(ISP) gave you to inset there:
Your username
Your Password
Incoming mail server
Outgoing mail server.

If you don't know the above, contact your ISP.

Re: Windows Mail can't connect

I can get my e-mail from the Verizon home page also On my Laptop with XP.
I understand that it's a connection problem with the e-mail , I don't think
it's a setup problem
because I've copied all the settings from my laptop.
I've installed Thunderbird and still can't connect.

I suspect port 25 might be the problem.

Any suggestions?
