Allright, i got an error message after sending to someone. My email
address
is if you could be so kind to tell me how to fix my
problem. I get the error message "The connection to the server has failed.
Account: 'www.hotmail.com', Server: 'www.hotmail.com', Protocol: SMTP,
Port:
25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E"
