I have Aol as my ISP which works fine. I also have Active 24 who supply
e-mail which I use through outlook express ver 6. Whilst I can recieve
emails through OE whenever I send emails I get the following error

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'Chris (Work)', Server:
'smtp.activeisp.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket
Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I have tried smtp.aol.com with aol port setting 587 (OE port 25). Both Aol
and active24 assure me there part is working fine and " its the others ".
Aol now say its a Microsoft issue as its there software??

Is there anybody out there in technical land who has a answer to my very
frustrating problem!!!!
