Can't Send e-mails - Outlook 2003

[Mike]

I am having the same problem with Cox East email. Cox and MS give the same
basic setup instructions, Cox does not require authentication or SSL, nothing
special in the setup. Have deleted and readded the email account, but can
only receive, not send, email in Outlook 2003 on a Vista machine. This is
the first time using Outlook on this machine, but have set up Outlook on many
other computers in the past.

Mike, I am also having the same Outlook 2003 problem with Vista operating
system over Cox.net. It was working fine until several weeks ago, then will
send sometimes when I shut down, but now, not at all. Did you find any
solution?

That's what I mean. That's typically the way you make sure you can send no
matter what network you're on. The domain of the outgoing server should
match the domain of the sending address, as well, but I assume that's
already true.


I don't know of any generic way.

I'm having the same problem on a laptop & desktop all of a sudden. Only
difference is my accounts are with comcast not verizon so I don't think
that's the issue.

Comcast says it's a MS issue and from research it appears that 2002 had the
same problem and recommends setting up a new e-mail account.

Anybody come up with a better answer??
