System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Could not access 'CDO.Message' object.

I try to add a task or post a message and I get the following error: System.Web.HttpException: Could not access 'CDO.Message' object. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. --->

First of all make sure you have the correct information in your SMTP settings (page "Options" - section "E-Mail sending settings") .

Then check if you have McAfee VirusScan or any other Antivirus/Firewall software installed on your computer. These applications might block SMTP port 25. Unblock this port in firewall/antivirus settings.
