going email is not being sent and I get the following error message. Can
anyone help please?

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 'Whistleboy@xxxxxx'. Subject 'Re:
Hi', Account: 'Laptop ', Server: 'smtp-server.tampabay.rr.com', Protocol:
SMTP, Server Response: '553 Authentication is required to send mail as
<Whistleboy@xxxxxx>', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 553,
Error Number: 0x800CCC78

mail i am having one problem after another it seems.

==============================
Just wondering...

In the Properties of your e-mail account
on the Server tab...do you have: 'My Server
Requires Authentication'...checked?

Mail Servers: Florida (Tampa Bay)
incoming mail server: pop-server.tampabay.rr.com
outgoing mail server: smtp-server.tampabay.rr.com
