Some ISPs, require you to send all outgoing messages through their mail servers.

In these cases when you try to send a message, you'll see an error similar to the following:

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

You'll need to reconfigure your outgoing mail server settings as follows:

  1. Launch Outlook Express as usual.
  2. From the Tools menu, select Accounts.
  3. Select the Mail tab.
  4. Select the server to your account and click the Properties button.
  5. Select the Servers tab.
     

Change the Outgoing mail (SMTP) setting to the one required by your ISP:
