email sending error
21 Answers
good evening,
im not too sure how to explain this, and i might not even make much sense in what im asking - no change there then eh!
so apologies ok! lol
anyway, my problem is this -
i am not able to send an email to a contact via live windows messenger (?)
the email doesnt send, and this message appears :-
The host '****@aol.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly.
Subject 'Logitech(R) Mail', Account: '****@aol.com', Server: '****@aol.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11003, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D
(there is nothing to click on in this message box to verify or do anything)
im not sure what this means, or what i need to do to sort this out.
can anyone offer any suggestions please?
thank you :o)
(ive *starred* out the email address that i use on aol)

I have not got windows live mail here, and I don't use it at all, so this is the best I can do from memory!
you basically need to modify you account details so the server name is smtp.aol.com, not [email protected]
So, click on the tools menu > accounts then when you get a list of your mail accounts click once to highlight the correct one (probably the only one) and click the properties button... once the properties have opened then find the outgoing server (SMTP) name and change it to remove the @ sign from the name and replace it with a . click OK a few times and try again.

thanks chuck, thatd be great, ta very much!
i think the bit where ive made an error, is on the 'set up email servers' page
it already says pop3 for the server type
and im not sure what to put in the incoming (pop3/imap) and out going (smtp) areas.
so if/when i hear from you tomorrow, and youre able to advise me, i could remove the details/address i attempted to put in before, which is causing the email error,
and start a fresh with the correct details eh?
thanks alot for your time tonight chuck, much appreciated :o)

Yep, it is...
it's the outgoing (SMTP) that the errror is reporting, as said above there should not be an @ sign in that address, it's smtp.aol.com
and the incoming server should be set as IMAP for it's type and the name is then imap.aol.com.
Further details are here for outlook express, windows live mail should be very similar...

and now a box - 'log on to imap.aol.com' asking me to verify my username and password, which i type in, but it keeps reappearing each time, asking me again..

Is this the first time ever you've emailed this person? Have you had no problem before?
I ask because in the past this has happened to me. I think its telling you it can't deliver because your friends 'Inbox' is FULL so ignore it and try tomorrow. Sometimes people put a block on while they're away and you will get this message to stop you sending any more. For peace of mind phone her and ask about it.

..then it turns into one of those horrible nightmares where no matter how fast I run, you're always a few yards behind, then I come to a huge flight of stairs going down and I glide down them in slow motion and bump into a white rabbit going "where's the spoons, where's the spoons?!" then a huge snake swims through a doughnut, and I land on a massive couch - then Sigmund Freud leans over and says "tell me about your childhood".
