I just loaded Outlook 2007 and can reply and forward from incoming
messages
but when I start a new email and click send, I get a message that
says
"cannot send this item". All diagnostics came back good and I'm not
having
other problems. Did something not load properly?


When you reply or forward, you reuse the same account through which
the original e-mail was received. When you compose a wholly new
e-mail, the default e-mail account gets used. Perhaps you neglected
to define a legitimate SMTP server in the default e-mail account, or
you did not configure to authenticate to it. Are you
inserting/linking to a graphics image, like in the signature?
