"Peter Brown" wrote in message
... Yes, I rang the auto configuration tool! Does it matter that I only have one mail account on Outlook Express and that the gmail one?? "Vanguard" wrote in message ... "Peter Brown" wrote in message news ![]() 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"!!. At least one of the accounts defined within Outlook Express must have an SMTP server defined. Gmail uses *different* names for the POP3 and SMTP mail hosts. Did you follow the instructions at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...y=smtp&topic=0 &type=f on setting up Gmail for access by a local e-mail client? Look at the SMTP server that you defined in the lone e-mail account. Copy it (do not type) and paste it into a lookup command in a DOS shell, as in "nslookup servername". Maybe what you entered is an invalid IP name which means OE could never connect to a non-existing domain. Have you tried deleting the account and creating a new one with the correct settings? Maybe your identity is corrupted. Try creating a new identity with the Gmail account and see if that works. Are you sure the error message is EXACTLY "you don't have any accounts configured for sending emails"? It doesn't sound like a Microsoft phrased error message. Using the exact error message, you do a search at Microsoft's huge support knowledgebase (http://support.microsoft.com), select OE6 as the product, enter the error string, and do an exact phrase search for that error message to see if there are any KB articles about it. Are you sure it is an error message from Outlook Express and not from some other anti-spam or other e-mail interrogating software that you installed? -- __________________________________________________ Post replies to the newsgroup.
