thank you for the prompt reply! Now please explain how I change the port to
587/ RECONFIGURE THE SMTP SETTINGS---sorry for being so ignorant in this
regard. yes, I have started using the web mail service but I really don't
like it and was hoping to make the needed adjustments to OE.

Sarah,
I am not versed in vpn connections.
When using a variety of different internet service provider connections
while travelling some can present a problem with outgoing mail, thus the
suggestion to use port 587 for your iinet email smtp port. The
alternative, if these same providers block smtp(outgoing mail) after
reconfiguration of your smtp settings, is to use your primary isp's web
based interface.

I think this might be the answer to the problem, Winston. I am using an
unsecured wireless connection now in AZ. I had no problem with a secured
wireless connection in Las Vegas a few days ago or an unsecured wifi
connection in utah before that.. this is the FIRST time I've had this
problem of the incoming working and the outgoing not. I had subscribed to
a public vpn service in september [for banking, etc.] and renewed it
recently. Now I can't get that to work either. Would it help to find out
what ISP my host is using? I'm getting in over my head here already.
