I'd suggest asking in a newsgroup related to Outlook Express.

This newsgroup is for questions about Access, the database product that's
part of Office Professional.

When you repost, it would probably help to indicate what version of Outlook
Express you're using, what operating system is on your client, and what
networking software you're using.

I keep recieving this error message: The connection to the server has
failed.
Account: Server: 'smtpauth.eathlink.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E. I have
researched it and can't seem to come up with any solution besides
reloading
Outlook Express which I would rather not do. Any help or suggestions would
be
greatly appreciated. Thanks
