Default Can't set up e-mail accounts

Thanks for your reoly. I have checked the addresses several times. They are
pop.bluewin ch and mail.bluewin.ch and the same addresses work every day on
my other computer (this one). I have tried deleting the address and
reentering. No help.

Tried sending a teat message to myself. Immediately I try to send I get
"Unknown error 0x8007007E" and the message doesn't get sent. in a few
minutes it tries again and this time reports another error message whose
number I did not get but is something like "Timed out waiting for server to
send message".

I'm baffled. On a third computer on my small network the same addresses
work fine with Outlook 2003 and on this one with Outlook Express.

Hi Stuart,

You could start my verifying your Outgoing Server settings. Mostly, it
should be same as your ISP regardless of the email address you are
configuring.

Verify your outgoing settings and try sending out a test email message to
yourself and let me know if Outlook throws any error message.

Thanks,

Mittu

I have WindowsXP SP2 on acomputer which also has dual boot with Windows 98. I
am trying to set up Outlook 2003 with three e-mail accounts which I have on
another computer. I enter the details and get " you have set up e-mail
account successfully" each time but if I go back and press Test Settings, it
reports - Find Internet Connection - Completed, but at Find Server for
Outgoing Mail it shows "Cancelled" for each address. The Pop3 mail server
address is correct.

What can be wrong ?
