well l i have read on here that this seems to be a problem that happens now and again , but cannot find a solution that works for me ...
the situation is this ..
im in vancouver for a month ,and have been here since the 1st dec . my email was working perfectly well , in and out ,till this morning ,where it went to recieve but not send . i have read all i can find ,and have tried changing port to 26 and changing all sort of things i read about .no luck . i tried a system restore to yesterday ,and then to two days ago , no luck .so im a bit stuck .
any more suggestions ? oh i get an error message after it has tried to send
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 't', Account: 'roberts mail', Server: 'relay.plus.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
thanks
robert

Are you using a Plusnet connection when trying to send e-mails?

To use relay.plus.net (and port 25 is the correct one) from an external connection requires use of authentication (Outlook Express Guide). However if sending was working until this morning that must have been set. Did you change any settings before the problem occurred?
Another possibility is using a different connection - eg mobile internet via an operator that blocks access to a third-party (eg Plusnet) mail server on port 25. In that case you would have to use the mobile operator's send-mail server.

You should also be able to use our webmail system to send outgoing mails if you are finding that your network provider is restricting you to their outgoing servers.

As sparxyt said, you should be able to use your normal email program as long as you set the outgoing SMTP authentication to on. Our email setup guides show you how to set this up, just click on Send mail from any connection (SMTP Authentication) for your mail program.

Perhaps this policy has only recently been introduced since sending used to work.
There have been hints that a workaround for this could be round the counter but nothing announced yet.

''use this provider to also send mail, you will need to contact them to obtain an alternate port number ''
would suggest that i could do this with plusnet ,and get an alternative port nymber ? is this possible ?

Not at the moment as far as I'm aware. That is what the following quote

… refers to.
Do you have a gmail account? Using their sendmail server which uses a different port (and security) could be an option.
