Outlook Express Problem

**kdawg53188** · 04-02-2007, 01:27 PM

I must have something with the connection on my outgoing mail wrong because I can recieve mail, but whenever I try to send it, it says there is an error. Thanks for your help.

What is the actual error message you get? Have you checked with your ISP that the server setting you have for outgoing mail is correct? It should be something like smtp.ISPname.com

While you're checking that in account properties, see if you checked server needs authentication for outgoing mail. I forgot to do that on one account and could recieve but not send. Drove me nuts trying to figure it out.
