Vanity: Outlook won't let me send mail

[politicket]

Go to your email account in Outlook Express (under the Tools menu).

Select 'Properties'

Go to the tab that says 'Outgoing Server'

Click on checkbox that says 'My outgoing mail server requires authentication'

Select radio button that says to use same setting as incoming mail server.

Click 'Apply' on everything and close all dialogs.

Exit out of Outlook Express.

Bring up Outlook Express again and everything should work.

P.S.: I'm writing this from memory, so a few of the terms may be slightly off...

P.S.S: And WHATEVER you do, DON'T change your SMTP or POP ports from the current settings. This will REALLY mess you up and is not the problem.

P.S.S.: I said Outlook Express in my comments, but the same holds true for Outlook. I think that you have to go under the 'Tools' menu, then 'Email Accounts', select 'View or change existing e-mail accounts', select your default SMPT/POP account, select 'Change', click on 'More Setting...', click on 'Outgoing server', and then proceed as mentioned in my previous post.

longshot here:

extend the timeout time.

Select "tools"
Select "accounts"
double click your accout.
select "advanced"
change the timeout time to greater than 1 minute.

good luck
