Hey I had the same problem.

I just changed the outgoing mail servers to my ISP's mail servers.

The settings that Microsoft wants me to use just did not work. At all.

It made me wonder who DID set them up with the Microsoft supplied server
information...

This issue is most probably caused by your AV scanning your emails.
Disable the scanning by Uninstalling your AV then re-installing it without
the email integration(scanning)

Can anybody help me!
I am running windows XP and use outlook express for emails. Over the last
3/4
months I have experienced problems with sending email, incoming are no
problem - on sending email I am getting an error message,
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop.orangehome.co.uk',
Server: 'smtp.orangehome.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL):
No,
Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I have tried to sort it myself and sometimes by rebooting the PC clears
the
problem but now that does not clear it up - I have spoken with Orange and
they are not much help
