What settings did Microsoft want you to use? How would they know? You're
*supposed* to set up your outgoing mail server to the ISP's mail servers.



I thought they wanted me to use the live.com service. Could be wrong.

Indeed. OP was asking about problems with is ISP service, which is called,
"Orange". He did not mention a thing about using the "Windows Live"
services.

Are you connected to the Internet via Orange when trying to send?

If you are connected via another ISP including any public WiFi network,
that is the problem. The ISP you are connected via is blocking port 25.

Can anybody help me!
I am running windows XP and use outlook express for emails. Over the
last 3/4
months I have experienced problems with sending email, incoming are no
problem - on sending email I am getting an error message,
The connection to the server has failed. Account:
'pop.orangehome.co.uk',
Server: 'smtp.orangehome.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I have tried to sort it myself and sometimes by rebooting the PC
clears the
problem but now that does not clear it up - I have spoken with Orange
and
they are not much help

That'll teach 'em to go to Orange (UK) for anything...

My Net connection and e-mail is with Pipex, admittedly another company that
has a checkered ownership history unfortunately, but at least the service
has remained fairly good, even if the residential tech help call centre is
now somewhere in Asia (India or Philippines, can't recall), full of very
polite but useless people. However, their business support centre is in the
UK and has, more importantly, people who seem to understand the issues and
usually resolve them (I have teo broadband lines, one each).

If I were to change I would seriously consider O2, another mobile phone
supplier.
