Someone email me!
 

Ok I lost my AOL account, I think I set up the optimum one correctly. Hattaresguy@microsoft.com

Someone shoot me an email I want to see if that is correct and it works.

btw Jeff thanks for the Gmail invite, I'll be setting that up soon.

Try this account as well;
hattaresguy@gmail.com

Thanks

Oh my that doesn't sound good.

Hattaresguy@microsoft.com

Is that a spelling error?

Nope.

No, I had to spell Hatteras (the boats) wrong to get my original AOL email account. Hattares is the correct spelling for my email.

Quiting time!

The host 'SMTP' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'POP3', Server: 'SMTP', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D


Thats what I got, what did I screw up?

Thanks for the help though.

is it microsoft.com or msn.com?

We use "Mail" for incoming and "SMTP" for outgoing. Maybe try that.

I'm outa here.

Change the way you post your emails or you will be spammed to death Hatterasguy @ gmail.com

Usually it's pop.blahblah.com and smtp.blahblah.com

But that would be on your side. Someone who gets a bounce such as
"550 5.1.1 User unknown" means that on their side (the outside world) you don't exist as you specified.

check the port #'s as well
 

Did Microsoft / MSN give you any special port numbers to use to send / receive? I use Att mail and had to change them for outlook to access ATT to download mail.
