853007 2010-01-29 08:24:00 What causes Error Code 0x800ccc0e?

Error code 0x800CCC0E is triggered because Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express or Windows Mail is not able to make a proper connection with the SMTP server and therefore you are not able to send E-mail messages. Fortunately, error number 0x800CCC0E is quite easy to fix.

How To Fix Error Number 0x800ccc0e ?

In order to fix error number 0x800ccc0e, you will need to make sure that your e-mail account settings are correct and that PORT 25 is the port used in the SMTP area - unless specifically told to use another port by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). It's possible your ISP has started to block the standard Outgoing Mail Port (25). You may need to consult your ISP's support pages to get the SMTP e-mail settings.

You can also get error 0x800ccc0e messages when you have anti-virus or firewall software enabled on your pc. Turn the anti-virus or firewall off for a moment and try to send your email again. If it works then the security software is the problem and you will need to contact your ISP for help.
