Well, for starters, incoming email should have the pop server, and outgoing
email should have the smtp server. Assuming you didn't just mistakenly
transpose things when you composed your message, that will fix a problem.

However, if you just transposed your actual configurations, then something
else is amiss. Did you happen to update the MSN software? I am not sure, but
I think that moving to the latest version of their access software
automatically makes some changes to the mail service; and POP3/SMTP service
is no longer available for MSN users with the latest software version. I
could be wrong, though; I don't use "AOL Lite" (the MSN service).
