My windows mail stopped working a few days ago. I deleted the account and re-installed but no luck. When I send/receive I get the following message. The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account: 'mail.mytdc.se', Server: 'smtp.mytdc.se', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E When I select to just receive all it looks as though it has worked with no error messages but I receive nothing. I am with tdcmail.se I had this problem before and i fixed it but cant remeber how. Any assistance would be appreciated. -- swesedg Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

You say "I am with tdcmail.se" but it is not clear if that is just your mail provider or also your ISP. If your ISP is different, it=20 will block access to other port 25 SMTP servers. The reason for that is explained here: http://www.postcastserver.com/help/Port_25_Blocking.aspx As a general rule, the owner of the SMTP server must match the entity providing the Internet connection. The available workarounds are as follows: 1. Use webmail for sending (via your browser). 2. Ask tdcmail.se if they have a port other than '25' for SMTP. 3. Substitute the SMTP server belonging to your ISP.=20 This is a bit tricky, but if you want to go that route, I can provide more details. 4. If you use a mobile laptop and frequently send from multiple locations, get a free Gmail account, configure it for POP access, and use that for your sending chores.=20 Gmail uses port 465 for SMTP, which is not blocked like port 25 is. =20 --=20 Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "swesedg" <swesedg.3fa7c3@no-mx.forums.vistaheads.com> wrote in message = news:swesedg.3fa7c3@no-mx.forums.vistaheads.com... >=20 > My windows mail stopped working a few days ago.=20 > I deleted the account and re-installed but no luck. >=20 > When I send/receive I get the following message. > The connection to the server has failed.

But why does this keep happening? It happens at least once every 2 months. I have never had to change the SMTP settings before, it was usually that i was entering wrong password. Even when I use webmail I am getting nothing. SO am i right in thinking it is a problem with their end? -- swesedg Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

If there is a problem with webmail access, it is likely caused at the server end. Webmail problems should be referred to your mail provider. --=20 Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "swesedg" <swesedg.3fb4o3@no-mx.forums.vistaheads.com> wrote in message = news:swesedg.3fb4o3@no-mx.forums.vistaheads.com... >=20 > But why does this keep happening?=20 >=20 > It happens at least once every 2 months. > I have never had to change the SMTP settings before, it was usually > that i was entering wrong password.=20 >=20 > Even when I use webmail I am getting nothing.
