I have the same problem...I called my ISP and they said it was a problem with
Outlook Express; and that they'd received a bajillion calls on the same
problem. I've checked all my settings, but as my laptop and my desktop
stopped sending mail at the same time I think Microsoft must have had an
error in a recent update - web based sending is fine, but I prefer OE. Can
anyone give us some solutions?

PJ again...I read some threads and there was talk of Norton, which I don't
have, recommendations to clean up the inbox, etc... I cleaned up my inbox on
my desktop, did a update via Windows update, did a disc cleanup...and nothing
worked.

I didn't do anything to my laptop.....and suddenly Outlook Express is
recieving mail. I go to my desktop and it is too.....very weird. Any
explanations from anyone would be appreciated. I'm going to hold my breath
whenever I hit send for awhile...

Hi PJ,
I talked to a tec guy and he thinks it's because my home email uses a
different type of server for sending e-mail then the one from work.
He has to set-up a new acount for sending e-mails at home.
It will take him a few days to come and set this up on my computer.
So I won't know if this solves the problem for a while.
