Unknown error message in Windows Mail

I am getting this message trying to send out messages,

An unknown error has occurred. Subject 'That was fun', Account:
'pop.gmail.com', Server: 'smtp.gmail.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 465,
Secure(SSL): Yes, Error Number: 0x800CCC0B
--

How do I fix this soon.

Your mail account settings are correct.
"Unknown error" is usually caused by interference from an
antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus should be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

Email scanning in any antivirus should be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

If no improvement after disabling email scanning, consider upgrading
to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects
from overly intrusive antivirus programs:

I suggest you do a trial uninstall of Webroot, reboot, then try
your Windows Mail again. If no change, you can reinstall Webroot,
or even better, the new Microsoft antivirus:

It's 100% compatible!
