Email not sending

About half the time or more the emails I am sending go to my outbox and sit
there, sometimes for hours or until the next day. Evenutally they go. I can
delete them if I want to. I get an error message telling my that my server
has terminated the connection unexpectedly. If there is nothing in my outbox
I can receive but if there is something sitting there I can't receive. This
is very frustrating! Can anyone help?

I have exactly the same problem...it started yesterday. For some reason I am
unable to post a new question, but can reply, so I'll be watching this post
for my problem too. When trying to send I get this message...This message
could not be sent. An error occurred. It then sits in my Outbox. I have
Vista Windows Mail.
Sorry this doesn't help you Marcia.

Click on Tools, then Options, then Send. If there is no check mark in the
box
before Send messages immediately, click on this box and then Apply. Click
on OK.

If this doesn't help, what if any antivirus programs do you have? Some of
them tend to cause such problems, although seldom immediately.

If you get any error messages when you try to send, can you show us the
entire error messages?

This is almost definitely cause by your antivirus program.
Which antivirus are you running?

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.

Gary, when I click Send/Receive I get a very fast box...comes and goes, but
doesn't receive mail. When I try to send I get this message..."This message
cannot be sent. An error has occurred" And now it doesn't even go to my
Outbox...if I want to save it it goes to my Draft box. I have always run AVG
anitvirus with no problems. Any help would really be appreciated. I also
think something has happend to Windows Mail in the past two days.
