Help - PProblem Sending Emails

This is really strange.

I am using OE vers 6.

It is a new installation.

When I compose an email or reply to an email, I get the following
error message and the email is moved into the Outbox.

An Unknown Error has occurred
Protocol: SMTP, Port:0
Secure (SSL), No Error Number 0x800C0131

The only way I can send the email is to shut down and reboot and start
up OE - at which time OE sends the pending email(s).

Anyone know what is wrong?

Thanks
 
This behavior can occur if the Folders.dbx file is missing, damaged, or using the
read-only attribute.

RESOLUTION
Rename the Folders.dbx file:
1. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders.
2. In the Named box, type folders.dbx.
3. In the Look In box, click your primary hard disk (usually drive C), and then click
Find Now.
4. Right-click the Folders.dbx file, and then click Rename.
5. Type folders.old, and then click OK.
Start Outlook Express. This creates a new Folders.dbx file automatically.

If the above doesn't help post to

I tried the above to no avail. I even tried simply removing
(deleting) folders.dbx.

Thanks anyway
 
Hm,
SMTP should be on port 25 - check Account Options/Advanced and try to
enable/disable SSL according to your mail server's setup.
Another place to look it is some mail virus checker, or a proxy - use IE
settings.
