So I finally registered www.domsworkshop.com, and I set up my POP3 mail account in Outlook Express to work with my regular email.

With the new email account, I can receive messages, but I can't send anything. I get this error:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'pop.1and1.com', Server: 'smtp.1and1.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

:dunno:

 

is the smpt server correct?

 

That's the smpt listed on the email faq of 1and1.

 

it's probably just outlook express...i had always dumb errors even though it was set up properly

 

you've gotta set your smtp as whatever your ISP mail server is.

 

:werd: dont' use the 1and1.com one.

 

w00t! Thanks guys!!! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEH

 

Most likely they have the firewall on their SMTP mail server set to drop rejected requests rather than return them. Really shitty policy for a service provider, as it makes troubleshooting twice as hard for the end user.

Means you'll time out the connection instead of getting a rejection notice.
