I have not been able to send email w/ outlook anymore. I can still
receive mail fine, when I send mail, it says it sent fine and it goes
into my sent folder, but my mail does not really send and I do not know
what to do! I called Cincinnati Bell (my ISP) and they said my mail
works fine because supposedly they said the mail I sent to their TEST
address was sent in their filtered folder, but it WAS sent. Well, they
are the only people receiving my mail then. I am forced to access my
mail using the web which is way to time consuming. When I 1st had this
email account setup, I was able to send mail using outlook, but for
some reason I can no longer send. I tried uninstalling my anti-virus
and still nothing. I tried different port #'s, but nothing. Can anyone
please help me?

Are you set up to authenticate to the outgoing mail server, if this is
required? You can't change the SMTP port on your computer alone - it would
have to match the listening port on the server. This is either a
configuration error in your account properties, or a problem with your ISP's
mail server....

How would I check this? I don't think there is a problem w/ my ISP's
server because I set up a separate outlook account on my downstairs
computer and sent mail just fine! Do you think there is something wrong
w/ my networking? I have the Linksys router and modem hooked up on my
computer and the network card in the computer downstairs. I do believe
this started after I made my computer the hub and the downstairs
computer wireless.

I don't know what you meanm by "made your computer the hub" - but if you're
connecting to the Internet through your Linksys and can browse/surf, it's
unlikely. So, it's more likely a configuration probem in Outlook. Did you
try the 'test settings' option? Did you try creating a new mail account?


NB: It's best that you don't snip out all the quoted text when you
reply....it makes it very hard for others to follow the thread. You might
want to consider using a newsreader like Outlook Express or Forte Agent
rather than Google Groups (or the Microsoft web interface) for this and many
other reasons. It's a lot easier to do nearly everything that way, including
searching, which is always a good idea to do before you post, as well as
mark messages to be watched, and filter based on replies to your posts. The
Microsoft public news server is news.microsoft.com and you can subscribe to
as many groups as you like.
