Can't send email in Windows Mail

On May 12th I was unable to send emails under Windows mail. It would come back with an error message of "0X800CCC0F". In my account I'm using (POP3) incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and (SMTP) outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net.

My SMTP port is 25 and my POP3 port is 110. I receive emails but can't send any. If I go to Verizon's email site I can send myself emails and receive them. I don't like Verizon's setup so I've used Windows Mail with Vista and Outlook with Windows ME without any problems. I've tried changing port numbers and checking and unchecking SSl and SPA until I'm not quite sure where I was originally. Something must have changed 5 days ago but I not sure how to fix it. Any suggestions would be most gratefully received.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. Around the same date I began having the same issues (right after Microsoft installed updates). I use Vista and have had this problem ONLY with Verizon ISP every month, at least once a month. This time, it hasn't stopped since the 12th.

Due to this, I finally gave up and ran the Verizon In Home Agent, which Norton suggested I do not do. I should have listened to Norton. The IHA lists that I have two Outlook email address, both of which are the same. I checked my Outlook and I only have one listed. BUT, since I used the IHA I now receive emails twice and can't send any at all unless I use Webmail. The IHA says there are no problems with my email, but I still can't send.

If you figure out the resolution to this, I'd love to know....and I will definitely try the link to Microsoft that someone already listed. I can't use the Windows Mail or Outlook to send.

Set up a new Outlook profile. Did not work. Set up a new Windows Mail profile. Did not work. I still have two emails sitting in my outbox but it says its trying to send four. I've always been pretty computer savvy, but I just may have to call in a few buddies on this one since it's what they do for a living. Is your Windows Mail constantly prompting you for a password? I keep just hitting "OK" or have even tried retyping it, and it still pops up two minutes later. Every once in a while I can get an email out, but rarely.

Rolled my port up one....was on 586, and now on 587 and now I can send. Hope that helps you out. (I'll work on the password thing in case you're having that issue as well).
