Hi Char,
After some digging, I found the log at
C:\Users\cptrname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsLiveMail.
I cleared out the old log and created a fresh one with only a request to
sync my mail.
It is a 4k text file which looks like this:

Try as I may, I couldn't decipher the cause for the failure to send the 53
messages
in my Outbox, although I do se those ZoneError and Retry messages.
I did try rebooting the router, since that was an easy try.
I haven't yet done a detailed comparison between the two systems, however,
the other system is using OE on XP Pro, but all the port configs are
identical.
Can you make heads or tails of the log info???
Many thanks for your detailed and informative help, so far!
Dave
Dave,
I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but it looks to me like your
server information is wrong. It looks like you're trying to access
"pop.server.com" on port 110, which won't work for sending mail. Port
110 and "pop" are for receiving email, not sending.
Things to do:
1. Verify the server name. I would expect to see something like
smtp.server.com rather than pop.server.com, and that's assuming that
"server.com" is correct for your ISP.
2. Set the port to 587, 465, or 25, based on what your ISP wants you
to do. In fact, go through all of your email settings with a copy of
your ISP's email configuration instructions handy.
Fix the server info and you should be all set. If you need more help
please provide your ISP information so we can help look up what the
settings should be.
For what it's worth, I used Telnet to connect to pop.server.com on
port 110 and was successful, and then I tried to Telnet to
smtp.server.com on port 25 and was also successful, so I'm guessing
"smtp.server.com" and "port 25" might be your settings to use. Just a
guess, though.
If you make changes and still have issues, provide another log file.
It really helps!
