Have just set up Pipex broadband. Have outlook express. Can get incoming mail but can't send e-mails.
I get this message when I try:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'pop3.lineone.net', Server: 'SMTP.lineone.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
OK, I'm slightly confused (some say this is normal for me
however clearing this up may solve your problem)
You say "Have just set up Pipex broadband" -- OK, so far so good. So why are you (apparently) trying to talk to a server at Lineone ('SMTP.lineone.net') ? In general, you should be connecting to the mail server(s) specified by your ISP, in this case PIPEX (well, UUNET who now own them). Lineone are likely to reject connection attempts from clients not coming from their network, which may explain the error you are seeing.
For why Micro$haft is producing such an opaque error mesage, you'll have to ask them...
Hope this helps
