    Error every time I send or receive email

    One time I didn't complete an email address and pressed "send" . Every time
    since then when I send or receive I get this pop-up: I was hoping I could
    paste the page here, but I can't. This is part of the wording:
    Protocol SMTP, Server response: 501.5.5.2 syntax error in address ...
    Error Number 0x800CCC79
    0 or 1 tasks have completed successfully.

    I receive everything and I think everything is being sent, but the error
    window
    pops up each time. Thanks for any help.

    Look in the Outbox. If the email with the incomplete email address is
    there, delete it.

    hey...perhaps you can give me some insight/guidance, I get the following
    similar message:
    The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
    correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
    problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
    "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
    the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.

    The rejected e-mail address was 'xxxxxxx@newsgroup'. Subject 'Fw: Bixel
    St', Account: 'pop.windstream.net (1)', Server: 'smtp.windstream.net',
    Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '501 5.5.2 RCPT TO syntax error', Port: 25,
    Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 501, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

    I can send email and receive email, and the steps I've taken so far have not
    yielded and results, they are verifying my "Server Requires Authentication",
    I've deleted the specific contact cited in the error message from my list of
    contacts and re-established it -just in case. I've deleted all email
    messages to/from the cited contact.

    I also am prompted with every time I send out a message to any of my
    contacts, " One or more message in your Outbox do not have a valid account
    specified. Would you like to use your default account to send messaged
    Yes No


    Any clues?

    The rejected e-mail address 'xxxxxxx@newsgroup' appears to have a period at
    the end of it; does it?
