Looking at the error message it states that something is wrong with SMTP at port 25 . SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and must be right in order to send mail.

To see if your account is setup right, do the following while in windows mail:

At the top of the page click on the 'Tools' menu and then select 'Accounts'.

Highlight the problematic email account under the 'Mail' section and click on the 'Properties' button.

Click on the 'Servers' tab at the top

The incoming mail (POP3) box should say: pop.myfairpoint.net

The outgoing mail (SMTP) box should say: smtp.myfairpoint.net

Just make sure that pop and the smtp have that same thing after them. Whatever the pop says make sure the smtp says the same thing.
