Thank your for your response. It is a possibility that my work may be blocking something. I will take your advice and check with them. Thanks for your assistance.

     The 0x800ccc0e message indicates a failure to connect. It may be related to
     attempts to send mail via a server that you did not download the message
     from or a failure to send a POP request before sending (called POP before
     SMTP). You might ask your admin people at work if they are blocking
     external connections such as yours from sending mail and you may have to
     modify your account info to send mail via your work's SMTP server.
