No outgoing mail

Is Cox Communications both your ISP and Mail Server? Is that the way the
error looks exactly? If not, copy & paste it into this thread.

Looks like you have an illegal space character at the end of the
server name. Edit the server name under Tools, Accounts, select that
account, Properties, Servers.

If your error is identical, you have an illegal space character at the end
of the server name. Edit the server name under Tools, Accounts, select
that account, Properties, Servers.
If your error message is slightly different, please post it.
