Default Trouble with gmail

Your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the default Main Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named Identity (File Identities Add new identity). Assuming all is well, import messages from the old Identity before deleting it (File Identities Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

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?
