Re: Unable to send emails - common issue!!

Is Tiscali your Internet connection provider as well as your mail provider?
That error message typically happens when the two providers are different.
With a laptop, the connection sometimes comes from Wi-Fi hotspots away
from home, which can cause this type of error message.

I have noticed numerous comments over the past couple of weeks concerning the
same problem - unable to send emails from Windows Mail, but able to receive.
I have the same problem and I am wondering if the issue is with Windows Mail?
I have been using the same laptop for the past year, & both receiving &
sending emails without problems. Now, all of a sudden, I cannot send. No
changes have been made to the 'setting up' of Windows Mail. When attempting
to send, the following message appears:
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 't', Account:
'pop.tiscali.co.uk', Server: 'smtp.tiscali.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
I should also point out that my other laptop experienced the same problem
(at the same time) but corrected itself. The settings & email address are
identical.
Both my provider 'Tiscali' & 'PC World Support' have been unable to help.
I am stuck on this one and would appreciate suggestions.
