Cannot Send Messages via Windows Mail

I have used Outlook successfully as my email client for several years. Even
though I knew that Outlook really doesn't "like" more than one profile on the
account, I have successfully used up to 3 profiles in the past. I started
having problems with one of the profiles as it did not want to "forward"
mesages. SO, I removed two of the accounts and prepared to put them on
Windows Mail. I started with one account and have never been able to get it
to send messages. I can receive but not send. I used the very same
parameters that I use with Outlook. I have contacted both my domain carrier
(Go Daddy) and my ISP. Both of them say I have everything set correctly and
that it has to be Windows Mail. Does anyone have any advice as to what my
problem is? Thanks very much!

We may be able to help if you post the complete error message.

Most people use Windows Live Mail to avoid problems.

Thank you very much, Mick & Dave, for your help. I just figured it out! As
I had stated, we use "Go Daddy" for our domains and I have always used their
server for both our incoming and outgoing messages. When doing so, I have to
change the outgoing port number to 80. When the messages wouldn't send using
Go Daddy's server, I tried to set it up using my ISP's outgoing server. They
STILL wouldn't send and that's when I became frustrated and asked for help.
Well, guess what? I had forgotten to change the outgoing port number back to
25. As soon as I made the change, all messages were sent immediately.

By the way, Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail are the same client.
