| | Re: Sporadic send problem If you get an error message, post it here. This problem is often caused by an incompatible antivirus. Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee or Norton security programs. Those will need to be uninstalled, not just disabled. After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their email scanning option turned off.

| | Re: Sporadic send problem You need to provide some details regarding the send failure. Do you get an error message? If so, copy it, then paste it into a reply here. When you attempt to send a message, does it stay in the Outbox? -- Gary VanderMolen [MS MVP-WLM] "Alex" <Alex@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:8D30A324-3F30-4A08-9BD8-C4C200EFE0F9@xxxxxx Quote: > Since setup of Windows Vista, I have not been able to send any emails from > Window Mail, can receive and delete.

| | Re: Sporadic send problem Unfortunately you paraphrased the error message instead of copying it, so now I can't tell if the typos exist in the actual account settings or are the result of transcribing errors. Example: Server: 'mail plicancoast.net' The most likely culprit is McAfee, which will need to be uninstalled as I indicated in my previous reply. There is no "Windows Anti-Virus" unless you mean Windows Live OneCare. Never have more than one antivirus program installed. -- Gary VanderMolen [MS MVP-WLM] "Alex" <Alex@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:CFAE0670-3208-44D1-A4BB-17666C21ABCA@xxxxxx Quote: > Yes, "The connection to the server has failed: Subject 'hello' , account: > 'mail, pelicancoast; Server: 'mail plicancoast.net', Protocol SMTP, Port25, > Secure (SSL):No, Socket Error 10060, error nnmber Ox800CCCOE.

| | Re: Sporadic send problem Should the server name have a space in it? Periods as the only punctuation inside is more common.
