You can't make up your own address. The address is either incorrect, or your
settings in Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties (All Tabs) are wrong.
Contact your ISP to make sure they are correct.

Also, turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
