That doesn't look like a complete error message, and we often need parts
of it you wouldn't expect to offer much help.

Does your connection to that server cross over from one internet provider's
equipment to another's before it reaches the server? If so, such
connections
to port 25 are often blocked to cause problems for spammers. In this case,
you should ask windstream.net if their outgoing email server listens for
outgoing mail on any port other than port 25, and if so, the details of how
to
switch to the other port. Just trying all the ports is a very slow way to
find
out - there are about 65,000 ports available.

For the undeletable messages, download and install this hotfix, with Windows
Mail not running:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works in
other folders. If you don't know whether you have a 32-bit version
of Vista or a 64-bit version, try the hotfix for the 32-bit version first.
Certain common antivirus programs, such as most of those from
Norton or McAfee, tend to cause this and other problems in
Windows Mail, although seldom immediately, so if you have such a
program, remember where to find the hotfix, and hope it will install
again if you need it again. A recent version of the Trend antivirus
program also causes assorted problems in Windows Mail.
 >> Stay informed about: message stuck in outbox 

You may be trying to send a message with a blank subject line, which
some email servers object to.

Also, that server may not be properly recognizing when you have
stopped using some connections to it, and therefore keeping those
connections alive after you stop using them and therefore having
too many active at once.

See if these instructions help:

http://www.mchsi.com/help/read/publisher_02/2002-01-15.33

They were written for Outlook Express, but should also work under
Windows Mail if they don't call for the HTTP protocol.

Does your connection to that server cross over from one internet
provider's equipment to another's before it reaches the server?
If so, such connections to port 25 are often blocked to cause trouble
for spammers.

You might try to move the messages that stay in the Outbox to the
Drafts folder, or delete them. If any refuse to do either, download
and install this hotfix, with Windows Mail not running:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Do you have more than one computer on a home network?
"Too many connections (2)" seems to imply that.

Which antivirus are you using? Some of them are not very
compatible with Windows Mail.

They'll probably want you to make sure you're up to date on any
updates needed for your HP equipment first. See here:

http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html

Click on Contact HP there to find ways of contacting them.

I have downloaded the suggested fix, but still get the same error message
even after restarting my computer. I'm very frustrated.
