help.
 
Like what previous questions? What happens when you try to send? Any error
message?

Has this ever worked? (i.e. are you sure the server settings are correct)?
If it has worked and the settings are correct, turn off e-mail scanning.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving,
and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting
changes and has even been responsible for loss of messages. Your
up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For
more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
http://thundercloud.net/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the
program and reinstall in Custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the
option arises.

Your computer has to be connected to Roadrunner's network in order to send
using their server.
Is it?

If you are at home, you are probably connecting to the Internet via
Roadrunner. In that case, the most likely cause of your problem is
your antivirus. Which antivirus are you running? Some of them cause
problems with Windows Mail over time.

Have you tried RoadRunner tech support? (Free, I would assume).

Microsoft Support:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx

($59.00 per incident, last I heard).

Did you try disabling e-mail scanning? I see from another post minutes ago
you mention you have Norton 360. Did you remove it and reinstall without
e-mail scanning?

FYI: Users have had problems with Norton in Outlook Express, WinMail and
Windows Live Mail. I would strongly suggest you get rid of it completely
via Add/Remove Programs and then run this tool.

Download and run the Norton Removal Tool:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

Then get a good, free AV that works well with Windows e-mail clients, such
as Avast, AVG, or Microsoft Security Essentials.

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition
http://free.grisoft.com/ww.download?prd=afe

Do a custom installation and opt out of e-mail scanning.

Avast:
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

In the case of Avast, choose Custom Installation and under Resident
Protection, uncheck: Internet Mail and Outlook/Exchange.

Microsoft Security Essentials:
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx

(No e-mail scanning to worry about)

Norton security products are among the top three troublemakers for
Windows Mail. Symptoms often don't surface until several months have
gone by, or until an update occurs.
First, be sure to disable its email scanning, for the reason explained here:
http://thundercloud.net/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

Disabling the Norton program is often insufficient. If so, do a trial uninstall,
followed by using their debris removal tool:
http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

Instead of uninstalling your antivirus, another option is to upgrade to
Windows Live Mail, which is more resistant to the adverse effects of overly
intrusive antivirus products: http://download.live.com/wlmail
