The host 'smpt.windstream.net' could not be found. Please verify that you
have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'pop.windstream.net',
Server: 'smpt.windstream.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 11004, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

Assure that all settings and check boxes are correct:

If still no joy:

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving,
and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting
changes and has even been responsible for loss of messages. Your
up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For
more, see:

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the
program and reinstall in Custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the
option arises.

smpt.windstream.net

Look at the spelling. It's wrong. The "t" and "p" are in the wrong places.

That's why code reviews should be mandatory even for freeware authors. You
tend to see what you expect to see.

punctuation would also be appreciated.

"everything is right"
Not according to your original post and which your next post makes no
modifications or corrections thereof. You were specifying the wrong
hostname in your original post. In your next post, you don't mention if you
yet fixed that.
