This message keeps coming up when I try to send an email:

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.amtelecom.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

How can I fix this Thanks, Joanne

What are your settings? If this is an Eastlink-based account, try using mail.eastlink.ca on port 465, SSL/TLS, authentication = normal password, User Name = email address.
