Thanks for your comments.

I will eleborate on which option I will use.

For me, it seams all a bit confusing, as I only would like to use a basic
program.

In any case thanks for your help

Thanks for your extensive answer.

However, I am not sure if I understand correctly.


1. Using web-email will deminish the benifits of using an application like
Windows Mail

It is a quicky workaround. I would normally recommend that option only for
someone who is going on a short trip with a laptop.

2. My co-workers are using port 25.

From home, from the office, or from elsewhere? Different connection
providers have different rules.

3. "Substitute the SMTP server belonging to your connection provider" not
sure what this means in practice

It boils down to the basic question, which you have not answered:
Which Internet connection provider were you using when you got that
error message? As I said before, you can't use a port 25 SMTP server
unless it belongs to your current connection provider.

4. I understand, but it comes down to point 1. again basically.

Noty really. Gmail offers POP access so you can use Windows Mail, and
Gmail allows you to use any From address, so your correspondents won't
know the difference.

I don't recall seeing your problem statement before.
Had I seen your error message, I would not have suggested uninstalling
Norton or switching to WLM.

The error message indicates a port 25 block. For more on this issue, see
http://www.postcastserver.com/help/Port_25_Blocking.aspx

JEcorporate does not appear to be an ISP. Therefore, your real ISP
will block any attempts to use a non-owned SMTP server on port 25.
As a general rule, the owner of the SMTP server must match the
entity providing the Internet connection.

The available workarounds are as follows:

1. Use webmail for sending (via your browser).
2. Ask JEcorporate if they have a port other than '25' for SMTP.
3. Substitute the SMTP server belonging to your connection provider.
4. If you frequently send from multiple locations (such as from a laptop),
get a free Gmail account, configure it for POP access, and use it for your
sending chores.
Gmail uses port 465 for SMTP, which is not blocked like port 25 is.

Hello,

effect.
