364482 2005-06-17 01:04:00 Im getting an error message and my mails not sending .. I can recieve OK
This is the message:

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'XTRA', Server: 'localhost', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Now Ive googled, and the first up was a link here, I checked it, it referred to virus checker being a problem .. Ive updated it .. no luck.

I did swap from AVG to AVAST just to compare the two .. not sure when I did that but I dont use the PC for sending much and when I check when I last sent something it was early May.

What say ye ?

364483 2005-06-17 01:08:00 It means the virus checker (which is set to scan your emails) has chnaged the pop3 setting . Open OE, Select from Tools, Accounts . Choose your mail account, properties . Then click the servers tab . See what your Outgoing server says - -
smtp . xtra . co . nz
or
smtp . paradise . net . nz
or whatever

Make sure the incomings server says similar:
pop3 . xtra . co . nz
or pop3 . paradise . net . nz
or whatever .

You can ring your ISPs helpdesk if you need them to help you step through fixing the settings .
