Contact your Internet provider. They usually have info on how to set up
Outlook, Outlook Express and maybe Thunderbird email clients.


You have two problems:

1) You can not send emails -- SMTP server name, user account or password are
not correctly set up. Fix what needs to be fixed.

2) Your wife can not receive --- POP server name, user account or password
are not correctly set up. Fix what needs to be fixed.
 
Hi, Open OUTLOOK>>> Click on Tools tab>>> Click on Options Tab, Here you will
be able to set up all your e-mail preferences. when you run the mail wizard
you must make sure to use the Correct sending and recieving info. you may
have to contact your broadband provider for what info you need to enter for
sending and recieving. EXAMPLE: Mail.broadbandprovider.c0m or .net
hope this info helps.

Turn off email scanning in your anti-virus. It provides no added
protection. After doing so it may be necessary to reset the server names in
Outlook.

The Other E-Mail Threat: File Corruption in Outlook Express

Email scanning slows down Sending and Receiving, sometimes enough that OE
times out. Since some of the received messages have large (often virus)
attachments, which exasperates the problem.
Some Comcast users have found it necessary to totally uninstall Norton and
switch to the free AVG with mail scanning off. Norton invented email
scanning and here's what they say:

"Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPOR...6d4e006aaa94/4ba5fc8ef939c44c88256c7500723cf0

"...your computer is protected if Auto-Protect is enabled. Auto-Protect
scans any incoming files, including email attachments, when the files are
saved to your hard drive."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/2001100907323806

"NAV provides multiple layers of protection. Email scanning is just one of
those layers. Even if you are not running Email Scanning, your computer is
protected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments by NAV
Auto-Protect. Auto-Protect will scan any incoming files, including email
attachments, as they are saved to your hard drive. To make sure that
Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep Auto-Protect enabled
and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent virus
definitions."

So Symantec used to say this often and clearly. The newer stuff doesn't
have the statement included as it was considered an embarrassment. If you
know anyone who programs for Norton try to get them to talk about it.

Contact your ISP and ask them for assistance in configuring outlook to
use their POP3 server.

Why POP3 when he already says he can receive email? I'm sure it was smtp
that you meant to sugget.
