Open Outlook Express and click Tools/Accounts - Mail tab. Do you have any
accounts set up? It would appear that you do not from the message you are
getting. You must have an account created (usually with your ISP) to send
mail via an authorized SMTP server.

I'm using gmail. I had an old laptop and it worked just fine. I bought a
new
laptop and typed in the setting (as they appeared on the old laptop).
Wouldn't work. Went online to the gmail site and copied the settings from
there. Same problem. Used the online automatic setting program. Again it
wouldn't work.

I can receive emails but not send them. If I reply to an email it
sometimes
work. If I try to send an email it says "you don't have any accounts
configured for sending emails"!!.

What can I do? Has anybody else had the same problem?

Peter

But that just the strange thing. Gmail has it's own smpt and pop settings.
They worked on the old laptop but not on the new. Just to check I hadn't
mistyped I used the automatic program to enter the setting and still the
same.

GMail _does_ provide an authorized SMTP server for its users. They even
allow MS Outlook Express users to connect through port 465 w/SSL in case
their ISP blocks outbound port 25.
