can not send message

I can not send any message in outlook express.I get this error message:
The host 'smtp' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the
server name correctly. Account: 'pop3', Server: 'smtp', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

Pop3 is not an account name and smtp is not a server name. Get your settings
from your ISP and enter them correctly.

smtp is not a valid mail server name,
it may be valid as part of the server name,

go to your ISP getting started page and get the actual server names,

http://support.cox.com/sdccommon/asp...8-2d56ac32a574
POP Server: pop.east.cox.net
SMTP Server: smtp.east.cox.net

Good catch, Bob. I didn't check the message header, but if the account is
Cox, looking at the time zone, the settings will be:

POP Server: pop.west.cox.net
SMTP Server: smtp.west.cox.net

I'm UTC-0700 as the OP and those are my Cox settings.

Thankyou, always go the wrong way with time zones & call people 3am instead
of 9am
