Error Message 0x800CCC0E:

Possible solution 1:

You have a firewall. The firewall may be causing this error. Configure your firewall software to grant access to the Internet for the following files.

For Outlook Express: Msimn.exe
For Outlook: Outlook.exe
By default, most e-mail clients have to have outbound access on port 110 and inbound access on port 25.

Possible solution 2:

You have enabled Norton antivirus email feature. Please review
this Symantec support article.

Possible solution 3:

Your ISP has blocked port 25 for outgoing mail. This is becoming quite common, so we also provide outgoing mail service on port 587. If you have ruled out anti-virus or firewall interference, try changing your SMTP port setting from port 25 to port 587. 


Possible Solution 4:

Make sure you make SMTP Authentication checked off on your email client.  (My Outgoing Mail Server Requires Authentication)
