Can receive email, but can't send email?

[Guest]

I am currently working out of town and I set my email accounts on a laptop
just prior to leaving. When I started Outlook 2003 last night I found that I
could receive email, but not send.

When I attempt to send a test message, this is the message I receive: Send
est e-mail message: Unable to send Message. Please veify the E-mail Address
field.

I set these accounts directly off my PC at work - all the settings are
correct. Please advise. I really need to send some things to work.

If you're using work addresses to send through a home ISP different than the
work ISP, then you'll need to authenticate to the home SMTP server with its
credentials. Many ISPs won't allow someone with an address that differs
from their own domain to relay through their SMTP servers.

Thanks! That explains it! Can you explain to me how I would go about doing
that?

Look at the Outgoing Server tab in your account properties dialogue. Use
the credentials of the ISP whose SMTP server you're using.
