0x800CCC6B error message in Outlook Express
Hi,
-
This error code is caused by restriction. Some Internet Service Provider doesn't allow authentication when sending.
-
Time Warner Cable – Does not use SMTP when sending
Verizon – Does allow authentication when sending
The 2 examples above, are list of ISP that uses different configuration when sending.
-
Time Warner Cable for example does not use authentication when sending if their customer uses their own Internet network because they say, it is already secured if they are the Internet Service Provider.
-
Verizon – Always use authentication when sending because they want to secure email going out in their server for secured mail access.
-
They have their own reasons as to why they have this kind of settings.
-
In the case of yours, your Internet Service Provider might not allow authentication when sending that is why, you do get this error messages.
Authentcation must be uncheck. Follow these steps;
-
Go to Tools, Accounts
-
Highlight your account, then click Properties
-
Click on Server tab, and uncheck My SMTP Requires Authentication
-
Click OK, Apply and close Accounts page
You may need to verify this by calling your Internet Service Provide.
Ask how SMTP works in their end.
