The error message means that your system can't connect with the mail server.
There can be a number of reasons for this, starting with your having the
mail server identified incorrectly and ending with the mail server being
unavailable (in which case, you have to wait till it comes back online).
In between, there are a number of possibilities.
Did this ever work, or did it just suddenly stop working? Did anything at
all change?
Check with the documentation you received from your ISP, or with their
online support, that you have the server names correct. If you're using
firewall/antivirus software that is set up to scan email, check the mail
settings there too.

As well, if you are not actually connecting on a RR network, for example if
you are at another location using someone else's network connection that
isn't RR, you will not get to the RR mail servers and will get this error.
Most larger ISPs block access to their mail servers from other networks.
If you really need to be mobile and use email, you have to find a mail
server that doesn't use Port 25. Many people use gmail or hotmail for this
reason.
And there's a variation on that if you are using a wireless router and
network card and didn't change the default wireless SSID on the router:
it's possible that someone nearby is using the same SSID but another ISP,
and that your copy of Windows is connecting to their router without
bothering to mention it to you. The way to be sure that that isn't
happening is to change the SSID on your router, then scan for wireless
networks. If the old SSID is also available, there's a good chance that
you really were using someone else's connection.
