Cannot Send Outgoing Mail in Vista Windows Mail Personal Edition

When I go to send an outgoing mail message, it gets to the Outbox and Windows
Mail blows up there.  I get the following error message:  "Your server has
unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include
server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Subject
'Testing', Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'SMTP.comcast.net', Protocol:
SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10053, Error Number:
0x800CCC0F".  I noticed there are several other people within this community
having the same problem.

Note I have deleted all mesaages from the my inbox, outbox sent items, draft
and delete items boxes.  The problem still persists.  Is this  a bug?  If so,
when will it be fixed?

change the SMTP.comcast.net to smtp.comcast.net

Se if that has any bearing on the UNIX server which is expecting lowercase.

Why delete all the messages? Doesn't do a thing except lose you mail..

That should not make any difference, since by Internet convention,
server names are case-insensitive. It is true that for a Unix server,
www.comcast.net/INFO.html can go to a different place than
www.comcast.net/info.html.

Well, if I hadn't seen it happen before I wouldn't have believed it myself.

So, you can take for whatever it's worth but I've seen it happen and that
was "all" that was changed on the computer in Nashville that was using
Comcast cable.

According to your ISP:
http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/index.jsp?faq=Emailtop17686
the outgoing mail server should be on port 587, not on port 25
as you have it.

Have you tried entering your username with no CAPITAL LETTERS?
Have you tried with it both followed and not followed by the part of
your email address starting with @?  Are you sure you use CAPITAL
and lowercase letters in the right places in your password?  Some,
but not all, email servers are set to be picky about such things.

Also, if you have set Windows Mail to remember your password
and only see this problem when it's using its remembered password
you may be running into a quirk in what it does when you click
Apply after applying the remember password checkmark.  It
forgets the password if you do this.  If you think this is the case,
click on Tools, then Accounts, then your email account, then
Properties, then Servers.  If there is no check mark in the box
before Remember password, click on this box.  Don't click on
Apply, as you normally would after a change.  Click at the end of
the password, then backspace over it, then enter the password
again, with any approvals needed.  Don't click on Apply.  Click
on OK, then Close.

Also, you might check on your settings for the outgoing mail server
since port 110 is seldom used for an outgoing email server.  It is
often used for the incoming email server, though.

Check with the company running that server for the correct
settings.  They don't seem to have put them on their web site,
if I was looking at the right web site.

Please be more descriptive than "can't send".
Is there an error message when you try? If so, copy it,
then paste the complete error message into a reply here.

Are you sending from home when this problem happens?

Does this help?

Click on the Outbox, and if you find any messages there, move them to
the Drafts folder or delete them.  If any refuse to do either, download
and install this fix, with Windows Mail not running:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works in
other folders.  If you don't know whether you have a 32-bit version
of Vista or a 64-bit version, try the hotfix for the 32-bit version first.
Certain common antivirus programs, such as most of those from
Norton or McAfee, tend to cause stuck messages and other problems
in Windows Mail, although seldom immediately, so if you have such a
program, remember where to find the hotfix, and hope it will install
again if you need it again.  The Vista SP1 update contains this hotfix
and more, but takes longer to install.  A recent version of the Trend
antivirus program also causes assorted problems in Windows Mail.

If this doesn't fix your problem, send yourself a short message, and
if you get any error messages, right click on them and copy the entire
error messages to your next message.
190574 - 23 May 2008 16:45 GMT
this is what i use and it works..
mail.servername.com
mail.servername.com

but, i did notice that after you set it you, you still need to go back
into the properties and edit the email address because it doesn't put
the @servername.com protocol. You must add it. You dont need smtp. Check
that out, if it works great ir not, let me know... Do a follow up with
it.

There's an obvious conflict between those two Comcast help pages.
Not having Comcast myself, I have no way to test which one is correct.
I suggest Comcast users try both sets of settings, and report back
as to which one works.

Change the SMTP port to 587 on the Advanced tab and check the box in the
Outgoing section on the Servers tab "My server requires authentication".

I too have been having the same error. All my info is filled out correctly in
the servers and ports. On comcast help, firewall settings were mentioned, so
I adjusted them but still have no luck sending emails.
Steve Cochran - 01 Apr 2007 18:37 GMT
Try this:

1. Go to the Vista start menu and type cmd
2. The search results will display a program titled cmd
3. Right-click on the link and select "Run as administrator"
4. type "netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled" without
the quotatioin marks
5. Test your POP account and see if you can now download your mail.
6. If nothing changes, reenable the autotuning feature by typing
"netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=normal"

Try removing your Mail account, closing and reopening WinMail, and then
adding it back again.

On the Servers tab check the box on the bottom for outgoing server:
"My server requires authentication".
Looks like you didn't do that.

I just had the same problem - exactly the same.  Here's how I solved
it.
My PC came with Norton Protection Center installed and this is the
culprit.  Change the settings on outgoing email scanning.  I turned off
"scan outgoing mesages for suspected worms" and the problem was solved.

I hope this helps.
