Just use the default that Windows Mail uses. Delete the mail account, and create a new one from scratch, using the instructions in the link I provided. |

Delete the mail account, and create a > new one from scratch, using the instructions in the link I provided. What link did you provide? I didn't see any. I'd guess this: <http://support.cox.com/sdccommon/asp/contentredirect.asp?sprt_cid=4531f9ea-a8b1-4811-b98d-079427d18558> It was written for Outlook Express, but should also work under Windows Mail if it doesn't call for the HTTP protocol. It assumes you start with the default port number, though. |
