connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive

It could be that the outgoing SMTP server is looking for authentication from
you. When you set up your account in Outlook, did you specify your password
for the SMTP server as well as your POP3 server?

It could also be that if you have antivirus set up to scan incoming/outgoing
mail that it's preventing you from connecting.

If you're using Norton, see if they have a patch for it.
