Vista - Windows Vista and SMTP

There are a lot of posts as to the problem of email using Outlook in Vista. I
personally cannot send any SMTP mail. I have two different accounts
configured correctly, one is MSN using the SSL ports. I have Symantec SMTP
protection disabled. When I change or try to configure the accounts and test
them they usually check out however they always give an error when trying to
connect to a SMTP server. I understand Vista has a new revised TCP stack, for
any of you very knowledgible as to the TCP protocol in Vista can there be an
error somewhere or special settings to configure. The settings for both
accounts work perfectly on my XP machine, but not on the Vista machine!

I'm not an Outlook expert, but it would be helpful if you
tell us which version of Outlook. Also, what is the exact
error message?

Anyone with a Symantec product on their machine has a dysfunctional machine.
