But which mail account type are you using? HTTP, IMAP, POP3, Exchange?
If you have a virus scanner that integrates with Outlook, disable this
integration and try again.

Hi - not trying to hijack a post but I'm still having the same problem also.
I also can't send mail from Outlook 2007 (but can receive). It is Pop3. A
coworker used the settings on her computer (outlook 2003) and it
sent/received with no problem.
I am using Outlook 2007/Vista. (i uninstalled my PCCillin on Thursday and
reinstalled with no email functions checked and that did not correct the
problem)

You say what doesn't happen, but you don't say what does. Exactly what
happens when you press Send/Receive?

Sorry Brian - This is the message I get

Send test e-mail message: The operation timed out waiting for a response
from the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message,
contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).

I'd verify that all of the settings, the server names, ports, encryption
methods, and so on, are correct. If that didn't help, I'd turn on
diagnostic logging and see what the logs contain.
