since installing broadband my outlook express has lost the ability to send messages, i still recieve them ok but cant send. If i go to my isp homepage , log in and acess my email account that way I can sent mails, it just wont through outlook. Any ideas? I've checked all the settings and they seem no different from before so whats happened? any help would be great , cheers

Try grabbing hold of your monitor and hurling it against a wall or out of an upstairs window.....I find this works wonders when your puta is misbehavin':D :D

im too weak to lift it

Your SMTP/POP3 Mail settings, Mail Username / Password are probably incorrect.

 

You probably configured for your old E-Mail account, this is why you can download and not send.

but if they are all set up to connect on any available connection then is wont matter will it?

Yeah.....Yeah...:confused: :confused: yeah, totaley crystal :confused: , lolol

 

:D

and my passwords are right, if it can find the server to retrieve them why cant the dumb tw@t find the server to send them!!

Because most ISPs will let you check your mail even if you aren't connected via their dialup or broadband, but they won't let you send mail unless you're connected via them.

 

e.g. I used to be on BTinternet and then changed to Nildram broadband. I could still check my BTinternet mail, but I had to use the Nildram server to send mail as the BTinternet server wouldn't let me.

 

It's a way of trying to stop spammers using the mail server, I think.

 

Just go to your main email account and set the SMTP server to be the outgoing mail server of your new ISP.

You must be dialed up over the correct network otherwise the SMTP server will asume you are trying to relay through the server and reject your connection.

 

In english, sort of.....:D:D:D:D

 

E.g. If you were with BT Openworld and moved to BT Connect (Broadband) you POP3/SMTP Mail Servers change from mail.btopenworld.com/mail.btopenworld.com to pop3.btconnect.com/mail.btconnect.com.

 

Hopefuly this will make sense, if not, tell me who you are using for your broadband and i'll see if I can look them up for you.

I'll come round after work and trash it for you

:D :D

the ISP is living off the penny a minute or whatever rebate from the telecoms co and if you get in from broadband he gets nothing hence neither do you for sending anyway.

 

I have the same problem - might have to abandon that email address.
