Can someone help me? I am only sending to a list of 20 recipients, yet I get
the following error:
The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.

You have an illegal space after that recipient's email address.

Gary, is there a special way to enter an email address under a group list in
windows mail? Each time I enter the "name" and "email" it puts the space
behind the name.....like below.......and then I get the error?

Sorry, I haven't run into that problem personally. Not sure what you are
doing to cause the extra space to be added.

Isn't it virtually impossible to accidently add a space? I'd love to scrap
this windows mail and convert over to outlook express. Can that be easily
done? Would I lose all of my contacts in the process? Would I need Windows
7? I am operating on Vista now

OE won't run on Vista or Windows 7. It is old technology.
Your other choice is to download and install Windows Live Mail:

I guess that what you are seeing is the auto fill of recently used
addresses?

You need to edit that error from that contact in your contacts and in the
actual group.
Select the contact and backspace the offending space on the end.

Then you need to clear the auto fill list so that it no longer uses that old
memory.
