Who is your ISP? Have you checked the settings there?
Would be nice if you could post the error message - no-one here can see your

And that error message would be..... ?

A frequent cause of inability to send mail from a laptop is that the laptop
is not connected to the network owned by the same people who run the
outgoing mail server. That is, if you have Verizon at home and they are
your mail provider, and have taken the PC to work or a hotel that doesn't
use Verizon, your mail isn't going to send.

This is because most, if not all, ISPs now block outgoing email that uses
Port 25, and they put their own server on that port. To get around this,
you have to use a 3rd party SMTP server, such as Gmail. These servers
don't use Port 25 and will usually allow you to connect anywhere.

Is this a guessing game?

PS: Check your computer clock time, date, and time zone.

You should have started a new thread, describing what is wrong and what you
have tried to resolve it.

Please copy and paste any error message that you get when you fail to send
or receive mail
