You say you cannot get it to work. That doesn't give us any
clues to work with. Please provide the exact error message.
The only generic advice I can offer at this point is to make sure
your email account settings are exactly like what your ISP says
they should be.

I'm having the same problem ... it started a few days ago ... this is the
error message ... I've contracted my service provider with no luck. I can
receive email but can not send email.
An unknown error has occurred. Subject 'test', Account: 'NAME', Server:
'smtp.charter.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '421 Service not

I got my Vista last week. Had success with Windows email for a few days,
then realized the program stopped sending out my emails. Could receive
emails just fine. All messages now get stuck in my outbox. My solution:
yahoo.com
Let me know when Microsoft gets this latest problem fixed!

Error 421 implies a temporary loss of connectivity.
However, if it persists, and IE has no trouble loading web pages,
then the suspicion falls on your firewall or antivirus program.
As a test, temporarily uninstall your antivirus and/or firewall
program, reboot and try WinMail again.

I have the same problem with Vista. In coming messages no problem but I can't
send messages anymore.

Answer in newsgroup. Don't expect an answer to email.

When I send an email, it simply gets stuck in the outbox and goes nowhere.
