Error Code 0x800ccc0b Regarding Outlook And How To Fix It?

This error is not a server problem, it can be that your email client is misconfigured, or there is an error with SMTP on one of the other service, or there is a DNS problem with your ISP or your ISP is blocking access to Port 25.

A solution to fix the problem is to shut down and restart your computer. Make sure Outlook is configured to, ” SMTP: My server requires authentication” and then use the same username and password as a POP3 account. Temporarily turn off all Firewall and third party virus software. Temporarily use port 26 instead of 25 because most of the ISPs are blocking port 25 to prevent their clients from spamming.
