Vista - Socket Error 10060 when trying to send messages

Good afternoon, I tried to connect my VTXmail account to Windows Mail. I
receive messages, but I'm not able to send them.

The error message I get is:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account:
'pop.vtxmail.ch', Server: 'smtp.vtxmail.ch', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

What do I do wrongly?

Vtxmail.ch is probably not your ISP. As such, your home ISP will block
your use of any port 25 SMTP server other than their own.
For an explanation of this policy, see
http://www.postcastserver.com/help/P..._Blocking.aspx

To send from home, you will have to substitute your home ISP's
SMTP server. If you need help with that, let us know who your
home ISP is.

I have the same issue...

The host 'smtp.independentpub.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly.
Subject 'Re: circulation update', Account: 'mail.independentpub.com (1)', Server: 'smtp.independentpub.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 587, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

The smtp name is correct.

mY ISP is Timw-Warner (Roadrunner)

Okay, I have comcast and am getting the exact same errors as previous
poster.

I don't understand why all of a sudden this is happening, I've changed
NOTHING as far as settings since I got the laptop 2 years ago! But, the
last couple of days NONE of my outgoing mail...goes. Incoming is okay.

I've checked the settings and they look the same to me.. can someone
please help me figure out how to fix this (the unsent e-mail are piling
up!).

Thanks,
DHughes

Here's the error as shown after trying to send outgoing mail:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Re: Monday morn',
Account: 'mail.comcast.net (3)', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol:
SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number:
0x800CCC0E

Your wonderful ISP (Comcast) made some changes in their email
settings without advising the customers. Follow these steps:
http://www.comcast.com/Customers/FAQ...s.ashx?Id=2288

Note that the outgoing server now requires port 587 rather than port 25.
Also, "My server requires authentication" must be checked.
Although those instructions were written for Outlook Express,
Windows Mail uses the same settings.

I'm not surprised...Comcast has been just terrible, not just the
internet (which has been very slow to non-working for months), but my
phone has also had issues since August (no incoming calls, no outgoing
calls, no voice messages, on and on)...my cable tv reception is poor for
digital (tv repairman noticed without me mentioning what I thought), and
since the transition I can no longer use my vcr to tape programs.

I guess that is what they meant by TRIPLE PLAY!

Anyway, thanks so much for your help.. I've adjusted the port setting
and am now able to send outgoing messages.

Regards,
DHughes
