I'm trying to email photos on outlook express but?

it keeps coming up with the following message:





The host 'SMTP' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'POP3', Server: 'SMTP', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D





Being as computer illiterate as i am, I have no idea as to how to go about checking these settings. can anyone help???

I'm trying to email photos on outlook express but?
1st it has nothing to do with the photos ok


sounds like ure trying to use yahoo through outlook and u can only do that by upgrading to mail plus for $20/yr or u could be using gmail if so delete it and add it agin but this time use the imap and not the pop3 (gmail has both and the pop3 doesn't play well with outlook and the imap works fine and yes i know the smtp is the outgoing but it's running through the pop3)
Reply:When OE is open click on tools - %26gt; Accounts and a box will open. click in the 'mail' tab and you should see at least 1 account listed there. Click on properties on the right hand side and another window will open with the POP3 settings. Click on the servers tab and make sure they are correct.


Depending on which email provider you have, the settings will be different. Look up the settings on your provider's website and they will walk you though the setting step by step.


Also check the advanced tab and make sure the "this server requires a secure connection (SSL)" is not checked.
