Can't send emails through HTTP

[Guest]

I need some help. I can't send emails through an HTTP email account. Some
background - my school uses MS Exchange Server, but won't allow users from
home to login using Outlook 2003 in Exchange mode. They allow access to
email only and using an HTTP email account setup (not configured as exchange
account, only HTTP, like hotmail). This only became a problem about 2 weeks
ago, before then everything was fine. I can still connect to my inbox and
read and delete emails, BUT when I send a new email or reply to an email,
problems arise. It appears that my email was sent, and in fact a copy ends
up in my "sent items" folder, but it's never actually sent out and delivered.

I checked with my school's network administrator and he verified that it's
not the email server flitering out my messages. It is a problem on my end.

Any ideas?

I also tried disabling my McAfee Security Center (by starting windows XP in
Safe Mode with Networking), but that didn't fix the problem.

As an aside- I had the same problem 2 weeks ago when accessing the same
account using Outlook Web Access [which I hate and why I like using Outlook
03], but fixed it by uninstalling the S/MIME component. But the Outlook 03
sending problem still persists.

HELP! It would be greatly apreciated!

You should ask this in an Exchange group as Outlook Web Access is a part of Exchange, not Outlook (OWA is what you describe as http mail). microsoft.public.exchange.clients is a good place to start.

But the problem isn't with the Exchange server, its a problem with my Outlook
2003 connecting to my Exchange email through HTTP, which is something that I
was able to successfully do for months until about two weeks ago. I'm not
having a problem with OWA, and I'm not confusing Outlook 2003 with OWA or
http mail. I simply cannot get emails to send through HTTP account.
Microsoft has in their KB info on connecting to an Exchange email account
through HTTP so that VPN isn't necessary. That's what I've been doing for
months. Suddenly can't get emails to send. They appear to send without
problem, but really aren't getting sent out so the recipient never gets the
message.
