windows mail outgoing server ports can't send email

Help! I have set up a new email on my computer which has Windows Vista, my
ISP is frontier, I am able to receive emails, but am unable to send emails
through email address. I believe it has something to do with the outgoing
port, which I've tried 25 and 587 to no avail. If someone has some advice I
would appreciate it.

Try turning off the Firewall, in Control Panel, and then trying.

If it works, you know that it is a port that you need to open for your email
software.

Hi,

Try enabling authentication. Tools/Accounts, click on your mail account,
then on properties. Enable the line "my server requires authentication" on
the server tab.

Thanks Rick for the advice, but I do have server requires authentication
ENABLED. Any other suggestions?

Yeah, delete the account, reboot and reconfigure it.
