Cannot Send Outgoing Mail in Vista Windows Mail Personal E..

External Since: May 23, 2008 Posts: 1

this is what i use and it works..
mail.servername.com
mail.servername.com

but, i did notice that after you set it you, you still need to go back
into the properties and edit the email address because it doesn't put
the @servername.com protocol. You must add it. You dont need smtp. Check
that out, if it works great ir not, let me know... Do a follow up with
it.

It's not a Vista thing, it's a general Internet email policy. See
