What does this error mean????

An unknown error has occurred. Protocol: SMTP, Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No,
Error Number: 0x800C0148

It's the Outgoing Mail Server in your e-mail account properties. Did you set
everything up exactly as specified by your ISP or e-mail provider? If not,
that's why you're getting the message. It would be best to contact them with
this, as nobody here knows anything about who your e-mail provider is or
what their SMTP server requires,

SMTP would be your outgoing mail server, which should not be on PORT 0.

Check your outgoing mail server settings in Vista...and perhaps contact
your ISP.

I contacted gateway and they couldnt answr, called my ISP and they checked
out my computer and everything is correct so there is no answer so I am bring
the computer back to the geek squad.

Make sure your antivirus program is NOT configured to scan email.

Each antivirus program is different. Didn't you get a manual with
yours? Even without a manual there should be a Help button.
Search the help index for topics on email.

Why would this error show up now and not right away? I've had my laptop for
over a month now.

Always include a complete error message when asking for help.
If your error message has "Port: 0" in it, most likely your antivirus program
is corrupting your email accounts. Read this:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Bottom line, if you are using McAfee or Norton antivirus, uninstall,
and get a better antivirus program.

Did you try uninstalling your antivirus program?
See http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

If you need more help, copy and post the exact error message.

For that pain-in-the-rear error with Windows (Vista) Mail and McAfee Security
Center, I just exported the email address profiles (.*IAF) via "Export" under
"Tools" and "Accounts", shut ALL windows, uninstalled McAfee completely,
rebooted, reinstalled McAfee with reinstall CD that came with computer, kept
everything closed and when McAfee updated latest virus profiles, went in and
turned OFF SpamProtect, Email Scanning and IM scanning. Rebooted again just
in case, and then opened Windows Mail on Vista, imported those email address
profiles back in, and everything has worked fine since. Hope you have as much
luck as I after days of frustration (!?)
