Hello.

You'll want to make sure your server settings are correct for your email provider. We also have an excellent tutorial on Windows Mail which may be helpful: Windows Mail problems

I hope this helps.

You left off the most important part of the error message, which
should have looked similar to this:

The rejected e-mail address was 'somebody@xxxxxx'. Subject 'trial',
Account: 'pop.comcast.net', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP,
Server Response: '550 relay not permitted', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,
Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

Please post the entire error message.

I am having this problem. Can someone please tell me how to correct. I
contacted my internet provider and they say all is ok with them.

The address you're sending to has a ")" at the end which should not be there
and the email server is rejecting the message for that reason:

hab@xxxxxx)

Should be

hab@xxxxxx

I was seeing the same thing, but my mail would actually be delivered every time. Turns out I had mail with a bad address in my out box, and that was the address that caused the popup every time I sent anyone anything.
