Let me say thank you to everybody who helps...in this world of greed I find it re-freshing that people sharpen their pc skills without charging $99/hr....
Anyhow......i was given a tip [ in here] to look in outlook express/tool/accounts highlight my default mail provider [prodigy] and choose properties and check my smtp server address, which by the way is the same as incoming mail, which it was in the correct order. I went to the port settings...pop is 110 and smtp is 25 by default. I am still having the problem. When I send mail it says failed......no mail server found...should I copy paste the whole error message in here to see???....Thanks alot

Well, I didn't see your earlier post. But I do believe that with prodigy the incoming mail server should read mail.prodigy.net and the smtp should be smtp.prodigy.net
I stand to be corrected if anyone else has different info...good luck

wow....here at work we use the same for both....so I assumed it would be the same for my pc at home. I will check it right away when I get home and I forgot the # for the last response. It must have been a week ago. Thanks alot, I really appreciate it. If it doesnt work I will respond back in this ticket. Mark

Yep, If mail. is not working for outgoing, it will likely be smtp. I think I was there for the first post. If I forgot, call your ISP and clarify the settings with them if smtp. does not work. Some have others like Sympatico.

From your email address you must be using hotmail. If you are go to this site and look for an item at the bottom that says "report a bug" and ask them.

The server does not support a SSL connection. Account: 'pop.prodigy.net', Server: 'smtp.prodigy.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '250 HELP', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 250, Error Number: 0x800CCC7D......it was pop.prodigy.net for sending and I changed it to smtp.prodigy.net...it didnt work...hereis the error I got.......thanks in advance...Mark

I looked at www.prodigy.net and their help page.
These are the settings they listed.POP3 = pop.prodigy.net
SMTP = smtp.prodigy.netNews Server = news-byoa.prodigy.net

In Outlook Express click on tools/options and choose the mail account. Click on properties and go the the advanced tab. uncheck the box "this server requires a secure connection (SSL) and see if that fixes it. Assuming they are checked of course. Keep trying, one of us will figure it out.

Hey Kevin,Krystyna,Mark and buster.....thanks alot guys...IT WORKS!!!!!....My prob was smtp was set as pop....I changed that and then unchecked the ssl box and it works now......me and my outlook express now have an intimate relationship....lol........till next time........Mark

I have read the above messages and they are already applied to Outlook Express and I am still getting this error: Server: 'smtp.prodigy.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
The SSL is not checked the ISP and SMTP are set on the settings listed above and I still can't send anything can you help. Debbie

Outlook Express won't give me my e-mail. Prodigy says my mailbox is 80 percent full. I need to delete messages. How do I do that?
