Are you connected to the Internet via talktalk.net? If not, that may be
your issue.
0x800CCC19 is a timeout.
Many ISPs block access to other SMTP mail servers while connected via
them. (They block TCP/IP port 25 except to their own SMTP mail server.)
Some of these ISPs will make exceptions if you present a compelling
reason to do this. The error messages may indicate network is
unreachable, access denied, or timeout errors. Another workaround for
this is to use the SMTP mail server of the service that you connect via,
but leave your other settings the same. In some cases you can use Port
587 or 465 rather than port 25 (specify in OE/WLM at Tools, Accounts,
Mail, Properties, Advanced). Your ISP is more likely to allow this
port. The SMTP mail server has to support this port. SMTP
Authentication will likely be required. In OE/WLM this is specified in
Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers, Outgoing Mail Server, My
Server Requires Authentication.
