Default Problems with Outlook Express.

I Can receive mail, but if I try to send it I get the
folowing:

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

Frankly, I don't know what the hell this means.

Thanking you in advance for a lucid and civil response,

GR

The message means that Outlook Express could not connect to the earthlink
server. As it says, check that you have entered the correct address in Tools
| Accounts, earthlink, Properties | Servers, Outgoing mail.

Have you tried sending mail since you received that error message? It is
quite possible that the earthlink SMTP server was temporarily unavailable.

Mike,
Thank for your quick and lucid response.
For Tools-Accounts-Earthlink-properties-Servers-Outgoing
mail, I got "earthlink." The same as for incoming mail.

GR,

You need to enter the address of the earthlink SMTP server. You should be
able to establish this from their support site. I think it is
mail.earthlink.net but you really should check.

Mike,

As you suggested, I went to the Earthlink support site,
and the problem was solved immediately.

Thanks,

Anyone know why I get an error message "too many
recipients" (error 0x800CCC79)when I try to send out an
email to groups thru webmail?

Because the web mailer you are using limits the number of recipients of a
post - in other words from the message you quoted "too many recipients". The
reason being to limit its use for sending spam.
