Windows Mail

The Error message is:

The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.

The rejected e-mail address was 'jmmtaylor@verizon.net'. Subject 'Re:

I have called my server, and the maker of the computer and can not get it
fixed through them (mainly becasue they don't know what to do) Like I said, I
can go to my server page and reply and forward but not through Microsoft
mail, so it's not the server. I don't have the Outlook cd...it came installed
on the old computer.

Well, the message is FROM the server. They ought to know what it means.
One of the things that can cause if with some servers is having more
recipients than the server allows.

Are you sending from a verizon.net address?
Are you connected to verizon.net?

Answer in newsgroup. Don't expect an answer to email.

Yes it is verizon.net but it all works fine on my old computer with Outlook
express. How could it be a problem with the server if it still works on my
old computer and not my new one?? I would think that if it is a server
problem, I wouldn't be able to use it at all (either on the server site, or
my old outlook express). I went through everything with verizon and it is all
set up correctly, and they had me test (replying and forwarding) on the
server site and it worked fine. I just can not do it it Windows Mail. PLUS if
it were a server problem I shouldn't be able to send anything at all. I can
still send new emails and recieve emails. Wouldn't I not be able to do that
if my server was messed up??

If we are to believe the error message "Authentication Required"
then the solution is easy. Go to Tools, Accounts, select the
verizon.net account, Properties, Server, place a checkmark in
"My server requires authentication."

It is already checked...they had me try with it checked and without it
checked...and currently it is checked and I still can not forward or reply to
messages.

There's a possibility that the email account is corrupted.
First, make sure any email scanning is disabled:

Then delete the email account. Close WinMail, then open it
again and recreate the account.
