Error Message when sending mail
Posted by admin on Mar 11th, 2007
For no apparent reason, I can no longer send email. I get the following message; The host 'smtp.verizon.net' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Subject 'test', Account: 'mail.verizon.net', Server: 'smtp.verizon.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0DI have tried rebooting the computer to no avail. Problem began yesterday when no changes were made to computer. All settings appear correct. Any ideas?

"Sharshie" Assuming the server isn't down and if you're still connected to Verizon.net, try deleting the account, reboot then readd the account.

I had the EXACT same problem that began at the exact same time with verizon although no error msg came back. The emails just sat in the outbox and yes all the settings were correct. I did just as Dguess suggested and now it's all ok. I'd love to know what this happened. I'm using a fairly new toshiba laptop with vista"DGuess" wrote:

Your email account settings may have become corrupted by the email scanning feature of your antivirus program. If you read all the posts in this newsgroup you'll see that is a common thread.Gary VanderMolen "Ken"
