Did you also check the box that says "My server requires
authentication," and set the option to "use the same username and
password as the incoming mail server." (on the settings button)?

If you still have problems, you may want to record an smtp.log which
will show more details about outgoing mail.

To create an SMTP.log In OE5+, go to Tools, Options, Maintenance,
Troubleshooting, Mail
You may need to close OE after doing the send for the log to get written
to disk.
The log will be in the Store Folder which is listed in Tools, Options,
Maintenance, Store Folder.

I'm switching from AOL to PeoplePC. I have 2 mail accounts setup in OE
on PeoplePC one of which I have no problem with, the other I can
receive email but get the following error when trying to send email:

"Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible
causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long
period of inactivity. Account: PeoplePc Online, Server:
SMTPauth.PeoplePc.com Protocol: SMTP, Port 587, Secure (SSL): No,Error
number 0x800ccc0f."

Both email accounts have identical settings except, of course, for
account names. I have checked the settings thoroughly for
misspellings, punctuation errors, etc. The computer is not networked.
I have deleted and resetup the offending account several times.

For 3 days PeoplePC has not responded to me regarding this issue.

Anyone know what the problem is and what I need to do to fix it?
