with win2k and outlook 2000 can send and receive, with xp and outlook 2002
can receive but not send, have exact same settings, error msg for send =
'0x8004210b, the operation timed out waiting for response from sending
(smtp) server contact your blahblah....' outlook express for the same mail
account works on the xp/2002 machine???? quite baffling to me, any other
settings i can check or change to maybe solve this???
 
I'm assuming you are not connecting to an exchange server, and this is a pop3
account.
Make sure you do not have any security set for outgoing server. I've had
issues with outlook 2003 where "Log on using secure password authentication"
being checked can cause problems. And if your smtp server does not require
security, which most don't, having that option checked will keep you from
connecting.
 
thanx for the reply, yes no exchange and pop3, my isp, comcast, requires
authentication but not the 'secure password authentication' so that is what
is setup on both the 2000 and 2002, but for some reason 2002 aint working
for the send, very frustrating, all the properties that are available in the
setup screens for 2000 and 2002 are identical, but some how the code/ is
executed differently
