my wife and I have untill recently had two different isp's, both on dial up,
me on virgin .net and her on wanadoo (orange). I have now gone to virgin
broadband and installed a modem router. We both use outlook express for our
email. My email works fine but hers will only receive but not send if she
uses the wifi connection, if she uses her dial up modem then it's ok. It may
seem an obvious question but is this because her email account is with
wanadoo, and is there any way you can configure OE to use a diiferent isp.
Just out of interest if she switches to using wanadoo webmail then all works
fine but she prefers to use OE, theres probably an easy answer but I dont
know it! (I expect someone will suggest she changes her email account to
virgin but with all her business and personal contacts that will be a bit of
a pain in the b***!) thanks in advance.

Contact Wanadoo and see what they will require in the way of authentication
for her to use their SMTP server while connected via virgin.net. It may be
as simple as opening OE, clicking on Tools/Accounts and entering a check for
"My Server requires authentication" and use the same settings as her logon.
But that's up to Wanadoo. Some may require the use of port 587 vs. port 25,
but again, that's up to them.

I hae the same thing. Make sure that when you reply or send a message that
the send from is your ISP address. Click the down arrow until you find your
ISP addrss in the from line.
