| Guest | Re: Cannot Send E-mail With Windows Mail/Vista but CAN recieve In order to use SMTP on port 25, the mail server must belong to the same outfit that provides your Internet connection at that moment. If that is not feasible, there are three workarounds: 1. Use webmail for sending. 2. Use a port other than '25' for SMTP, if your mail provider has a provision for that. Typical alternate ports are 587 and 465. 3. Get a free Gmail account, configure it for POP access, and use it for your sending chores. -- Gary VanderMolen [MS MVP-WLM] "bnmitchell257" <bnmitchell257@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:C5FB73DD-44B6-41AC-80D4-FD0EE138BE14@xxxxxx Quote: > Everytime I try to send an e-mail I receive this message > > The connection to the server has failed.

Thanks for the work arounds I changed my port and that worked. However, your answer implies first time setup of the email client. I had actually been using my email client ,with mail being sent on port 25, for several months until yesterday when I began receiving the same error as the originator of this thread. Additionally, my email provider is not the same as whom I am accessing the web via and I use wireless connections to access the web. Why would this suddenly be a problem if I've not changed anything in my email account setup? Is it something related to possibly a windows update? Thanks. |

| Guest | Re: Cannot Send E-mail With Windows Mail/Vista but CAN recieve "Wireless connections" (plural) is the clue. Different wireless providers will have different policies. Also, a given provider will sometimes tighten up their policies over time in order to keep up with ever stricter anti-spam guidelines. -- Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM] "IMTreble" <IMTreble@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:55E1505F-5E30-4583-B511-B4D61D6F9656@xxxxxx Quote: > > > "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: > Quote: >> In order to use SMTP on port 25, the mail server must belong to the >> same outfit that provides your Internet connection at that moment. > > Thanks for the work arounds I changed my port and that worked.
