Why Can't I Connect?

If a "Connection failed" warning is displayed after you try to connect, it could be due to one of the following: Incorrect user name or password. Make sure that these are correct and bear in mind that the password is case sensitive. Make sure the Caps Lock key is not on. The Mail Server Engine is not running on the computer to which you are trying to connect. Run it first (using the Mail Server Control utility or the Services panel under Windows XP/2003).
