sending emails

[Stewart]

I am having a problem with outlook and outgoing emails. Those coming in
appear to be OK but it struggles to send any out, even if I click the
"send/receive" icon a few times there is no gaurantee that they will go;
some do and some don't.
I am sure that I have the correct smtp address so can anyone suggest what
else I can try?
Thank you

What happens when you try to send? Saying "struggles to send any out" is
not descriptive. What are the EXACT symptoms? Include your version of
Outlook and account type in your description.

Interesting Brian, I am with orange livebox and they tell me that my user
name has to end in freeserve.co.uk@fs.
I have changed it by taking out the "@fs" and for the moment it appears to
be working.
Thank you.
