trying to send an e-mail but getting error message

trying to send an e-mail message but getting an error message 0x8000FFFF.
What does this? What steps do I have to take to be able to send e-mails.

You gave us only a small fraction of the error message.
Right-click on the error message, copy, then paste the whole
thing into a reply here.

Hi Henry,

This may be caused by your antivirus program. Read the "First" section
in this tutorial to see if it applies to you. If not, please post back
with a exact copy of your error message. This will help us help you
better.

Help me set up Windows mail. I prefer using comcast mail, but when I click
on any web addresses, windows mail pops up. It is not set up right or not
working. I prefer using only one carrier. Can you help please.

Hi Barb,

This link will show you how to setup a email account on Windows Mail
for Comcast. Look at the bottom of this link to verify your account
settings and make any corrections as needed. The instuctions are the
same for Windows Mail as Outlook Express.

'How do I set up/configure Outlook Express for email?'
(http://www.comcast.com/customers/faq...s.ashx?ID=2288)

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I don't think there is a domain ".coza". Is it missing a period?

"Recipient address rejected" tells the story. You are trying to send
to an invalid email address.

By "comcast mail" I suppose you mean their webmail. Comcast also
does POP mail. Sorry, I don't know of any way to set webmail as
the default email client.
