Hello,

Please  checked your settings against the link below.

If you checked all the settings and still does not work most probably there is a something in your outbox that got corrupted. To fix this just clear you outbox contents.

Don't use port 25, use port 587, SSL on, and authentication required.  Port 465 (SSL is required here) also works.

Many users are finding that port 25 is blocked at their cable modem, usually becasue Comcast detects some traffic pattern that might indicate you are sending spam (perhaps unknowingly).  Which is we realways recommend the standard email submission port, which is 587.  465 is the SSL encrypted version of port 25, but since it requires authentication, it's not normally blocked when 25 is.

...set the smtp port to 587

but real problem is not with setting :-)

problem is with antivirus, unselect protection for (POP3...) in your antivirus setting for mail and problem fixed.
