Since a few days I can't send mail anymore. I always get this error:
An unknown error has occurred. Protocol: SMTP, Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No,
Error Number: 0x800C006C
Who can tell me what the cause is of this error. Till now everything works
fine with Outlook Express. I still can receive mail but I can't answer them
or send new mail.

Go to Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced and check the server
numbers and fix them if they are incorrect. Try clicking the Use Defaults
button there.

Steve,

The numbers are 110 for the incoming and 25 for outgoing mail. The same as
in Outlook. There, in Outlook 2007 beta, I still can send mails with the same
settings. This is very strange, because sending mail normally always works
without problems instead of receiving mails, where you need a username and
password.
So, problem still remaining.

Regards,
Christophe

I don't know why it is saying port 0 in the error then. If you have
antivirus software, try disabling it.

One of those errors, and I think it's that one, always says port 0 no matter
what port it's set to.

Please reply in newsgroup. Do NOT send email.

Even when the AntiVirus, PC-cillin Internet Security 14 is shut down, sending
mails is not working.

I have the same problem with my ISP's newsgroup. I get the message:
An Unknown Error has Occurred

Configuration:

Protocol: NNTP
Port: 0
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 80004005

When I check the properties of the newsgroup it shows Server Port Number as
119 (as it should), and the server name is corect (news.charter.net). The
interesting thing is that the Microsoft Communities Newsgroup works properly.

I found the bug . . . if (under the connection tab) I uncheck the "Always
connect to this account using:" everything works fine.

Hi Steve

Sorry to be ignorant but I was under the impression that Outlook Express
will not run with Vista?

How can I download a form of OE that runs in VISTA? I am trying to transfer
to Windows Mail and having major problems

Thanks

Mike
