    An error message by itself is pretty vague. What were you trying to do when you got the message? Has it worked before? When did it stop working? Has anything changed recently?

    Probably not. Mail hosts (servers) usually have names like 'smtp.myorganization.com', 'pop.myorganization.com' or ''mail.myorganization.com'.

    Accounts also usually have a form like '[email protected]' or just 'prasanna1973'.

    Adjust your configuration with correct settings.

    Close your email program, re-open it and try again. If it still won't work, restart your computer and try again. If it still won't work, contact your ISP.

    Usually you won't have to go to step 3. :)

    Good luck!
