Hi all Most times, but not every time, I send a message with OE, I get the following message: The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop.tiscali.co.uk', Server: 'smtp.tiscali.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E However, the message will send after a minute or two. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? I'm on broadband with a 2 gig limit that I doubt very much I am any where near as I don't download music or video and have only downloaded about 20 meg of programmes this month. I have no problems connecting to the internet.
