I have Outlook 2003 SP3 installed.

All of a sudden my outlook will not send e-mails. The just sit in my
outbox. I've not done any upgrades, it just quit sending. I can recieve
with no problems. I spoke to my internet provider who said it was a problem
with Outlook as all their connections are set and working correctly. The
message I get after attempting to send an e-mail in Outlook is:

Task "pop3everestkc.net" sending reported error (0x80042109) Outlook is
unable to connect to your outgoing SMTP e-mail server. Contract your server
adminstrator.

Can anyone suggest a solution for me?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

AMuglach,
Your Outgoing Mail Server should be:
smtp.everestkc.net

The setup instructions for email is for Outlook Express, but the email
acct's mail server settings will be the same if you use Outlook.

Rich,

I couldn't tell from your reply, whether or not you saw MY description of a
problem identical to AMuglach's; I gave a lot more detail about the error
messages. The SMTP server I have always specified (successfully) for Verizon
is: "outgoing.verizon.net". Are you suggesting something diffferent?

By the way, two additional facts I forgot to mention: (1) I removed and
reinstalled Outlook 2003, in case my software had become corrupted; that made
no difference. (2) I CAN send emails using Verizon's website, from the same 4
email addresses I use with Outlook. It's just much clumsier: only one account
(address) at a time, and (worst of all) NO address-book capability that I
know of. I have to copy/paste each address from my Outlook address book.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

John Mc,
I was replying to AMuglach, the OP of the thread, I failed to see that I was
replying to your posting, in the thread, your message or question was not
part of the posting.

I do not have a verizon acct, and couldn't go to far into their Help pages,
but a glimpse through their website, it appears that have multiple mail
services handling their customers email accts. Such as Yahoo, MSN, Hotmail,
AOL, etc...

What you might need to do is change the Outgoing Server port settings from
the default Port:25, in your Outlook application. If you PC is behind a
router or has a firewall/security program installed. Make sure that the
router or firewall/security program is not set to block the below listed
Ports.

In Outlook 2003 Tools Email Accrs Change or View Email accts Select a
Verizon acct one by one Change button More Settings Button Advance Tab
Change Outgoing Server Port setting to one of the following common Port
settings, it will be trial an error.
Port: 465
Port: 587
Port: 995
I would also increase the timeout setting a minute or two. Also make sure
the box is "checked" for just the outgoing server:
"This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL).
Then test and see if you can send an email message. If you can't try another
port setting. If it works then, change the setting for each of your other
Verizon Accts.

If that fails, you need check their website for your particular mail
service, or call Verizon, and ask assistance in setting up their email
accts.

Thanks for trying to help, Rich. I tried all three other port settings
WITHOUT checking the SSL box, and I got the same error message. When I tried
the four ports (including #25) with that box checked, I got a different error
message:

"Task 'John and Beth - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC7D) : 'Your outgoing
(SMTP) server does not support SSL-secured connections. If SSL-secured
connections have worked in the past, contact your server administrator or
Internet service provider (ISP)."

I've never checked that box in the past.

Any further suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am now having the same problem with Comcast. It started just a few days
ago. I called Comcast. They have checked everything and I can also receive
emails but not send them. I can send emails from the Comcast site, but not
from Outlook. They also recommended contacting Microsoft. Can anyone help?

What was the solution, I cn't seem to log on the site for the answer

I am having the same problem with Cox East email. Cox and MS give the same
basic setup instructions, Cox does not require authentication or SSL, nothing
special in the setup. Have deleted and readded the email account, but can
only receive, not send, email in Outlook 2003 on a Vista machine. This is
the first time using Outlook on this machine, but have set up Outlook on many
other computers in the past.
