I keep receiving an error whenever I try to send an email that says: "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gayemitchum.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again."

I have followed the steps in the online FAQ but have not gotten any results. I am attaching My user settings.

It appears your domain is hosted by Network Solutions, and according to their instructions, the outgoing server should be smtp.yourdomain.com on port 587, authentication = normal password, User name = full email address, and Connection security = none (POP) or STARTTLS (IMAP).
