I also have received the error message "The connection to the server has
failed. Account: 'pop.freeserve.com', Server: 'smtp.freeserve.com',
Protocol:
SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number:
0x800CCC0E"

As Michael suggested I tried ports 587 and 465 but to no effect. Have
Wanadoo got a bug?


I can't ping that server either ...check with your provider as to whether
you have the proper smtp server (or if its down at the moment)
