Just found out if I use Outgoing Mail Server port 465, I
can receive mail
but it takes 20 seconds trying to send the outging first.
The outgoing mail doesn't get sent.

I asked if there was a new error message. Is there? Possibly a
550 relaying error?

Hi Bruce,
I did not see any 550 relaying error, and I went back to port
465
and it no longer will receive if there is mail in the outbox.

Elaborate on this conflicting statement:

it takes 20 seconds trying to send the outging first.
The outgoing mail doesn't get sent.

Does it go or not? Does it go but also remain in the Outbox?

Does Not go.

Is Send Messages Immediately checked? I cannot fathom that if the
message is not sent due to incorrect settings or the like, that there
would not be an error message.

Sorry Bruce, using port 465 for Outgoing mail will receive email if
you wait
long enough.
It will Not send email, it stays in the outbox and does Not go to the
recipient.
The error message is;

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'Home', Server:
'smtp.charter.net',
Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060,
Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Port 25 works exactly the same as port 465 (shown above).
Mike

Your SMTP port has nothing to do with receiving mail. Try these settings
"to the letter".

Under SERVERS tab .......
Incoming mail (POP3) is pop.charter.net
Outgoing mail (SMTP) is smtp.charter.net
Log on using Secure Password Authentication – Charter e-mail servers do
not use SPA. Do not place a check within that box or an error will
occur.
My server requires authentication – Charter residential e-mail servers
do not require this authentication setting to be used. Do not place a
check within that box or an error will occur.
Under Advanced tab .........
Incoming mail (POP3) is 110
Outgoing mail (SMTP) is 25

All those are and were set -exactly- as you prescribed.
Mike

The only thing I know of that it may be is e-mail scanning.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving,
and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting
changes and has even been responsible for loss of messages. Your
up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For
more, see:

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the
program and reinstall in Custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the
option arises.
