I cannot send mail using Vista Windows Mail

I have numerous email accounts and cannot send any mails out of Windows mail.
I have disabled all my email scanning programs and have even tried the "cmd"
route, disabling it, removing my accounts, and re-adding them. Nothing seems
to be working. I have no problems getting mail, I just can't send it. Here
is an example of several messages I get.

G-Mail accounts:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account:
'pop.gmail.com', Server: 'smtp.gmail.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Other accounts:

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'sda', Account:
'oldmancomputer@oldmancomputer.com', Server: 'smtpout.secureserver.net',
Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number:
0x800CCC0E

&

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account:
'mail.marvinmin.com', Server: 'mail.marvinmin.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I'm certainly not an expert with Windows Mail, but it looks to me like
you've set up your smtp servers incorrectly. Here are the instructions
for GMail:

http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...y?answer=13287

For your other mail, are you running your own mail server? You have it
set to be smtpout.secureserver.net and mail.marvinmin.com. Is this
really correct for those two mail servers?

I will check out the gmail configuration. As far as the other go, the
mail.marvinmin.com wokred fine when I had Win. XP outlook express. The
other, smtpout.secureserver.net is the one I was provided with through my
hosting domain.

Malke already pointed out that you have the wrong settings for smtp.gmail.com
(port number 25 is incorrect).

As for the others: I don't know who your Internet connectivity provider is,
but most will not allow port 25 connections to any SMTP server but
their own.

Yes, it is frustrating that the computer doesn't know what you really
*meant* instead of what you really *typed*. ;-)

Glad you got it sorted. Thanks for taking the time to post back.

First, uninstall anything from McAfee or Norton. Turn off any scanning of
email or EML files in any other anti-virus.
Remove your mail account and turn off WinMail.
Restart WinMail and re-enter your mail account.
Go to http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/ and follow the instructions for cleaning
up the Outbox. This will delete everything in the Outbox, so move any you
still want to send to Drafts.

Thanks for your response, but I have done what you said to do and it is not
working. I downloaded the WMUtil and it brings up the screen, but Clear
Outbox is greyed out. This is so frustrating. I don't know why there isn't
more research on new things before they come out. We depend on e-mail for
work these days, and if you can't send e-mail, then you've got MAJOR
problems. . . which is where I am right now! I have deleted McAfee and done
everything in the order I was told and it is still NOT working. I am about
to SCREAM!!!!!
