Outlook Express Error 0x800CCC7D

The server does not support a SSL connection. Account; 'Sympatico' Server smtphm.sympatico.ca.' Protocol SMTP, Server response '250 OK' Port; 25, Secure (SSL) Yes, Server Error 250, error number 0x800CCC7D.'

I've checked to make sure that the SSL option under the advance tab was unchecked, both. Still I receive the following error message:

The server does not support a SSL connection. Account; 'Sympatico' Server smtphm.sympatico.ca.' Protocol SMTP, Server response '250 OK' Port; 25, Secure (SSL) Yes, Server Error 250, error number 0x800CCC7D.'

Every where I looked via the Internet suggested that I un-check those SSL options. Is there something else I should be looking at?

Thanks!

Thank you war1 & logirenova for the sanity check!
I will let you know that outcome midweek.
Cheers!
Sympatico (ISP) is a strange beast I guess.
SSL - Outgoing has to be unchecked Incoming has to be checked. It won't work in any other combination. Within Avast the outgoing scanning has to be unchecked.

I quickly recreated the account and unchecked the outgoing scanning in Avast- Outlook Express works like a charm!
