Outlook Express problem

Thanks Mrs A
Yeah i checked all of that its all fine, and it worked fine using the LAN connection, anyone have any idea whay it woud work using a LAN connection and why I can receive mail but not sent using my dial up connection? Thanks

Check your NAV - go to options - then to email protection. Does it show your email address? If so, in Outlook Express go to tools, then accounts. Highlight your mail server - go to properties - and see if your mail server is listed for incoming and outgoing. If not. change it to whatever it is supposed to be. For example mine is incoming mail (POP3) = mail.coiinc.com and outgoing mail (SMTP)= mail.coiinc.com. Change if necessary. If you don't know what to put in there, contact your internet provider.

Thanks,

Mrs A

I am on Earthlink, and mine has pop.earthlink.net for incoming mail, and smtp.earthlink.net for outgoing. I would think your ISP would have something similar. If you open OE, Click Tools, Accounts, Mail, find your mail account, highlight it, hit properties. Check the Servers tab, and see what it says there.
