Hi,
I am using Outlook Express 6 on Win XP. I have set up my account absolutely
fine and have been able to receive messages form my mail server. However,
when I try sending a mail, I receive the following message in a dialogue box:

The message could not be sent. You do not have any accounts configured for
sending e-mail.Please verify your account configuration.

I am not sure what it means but I verified my account details once again to
see if there was something amiss in the SMTP settings. I also tried looking
up the MSDN Knowledgebase fruitlessly. Can anyone please help me with this
thing please.

Thanks and Regards,

Bhooshan

What anti-virus software are you using? Does it scan outgoing e-mail? If
so, close Outlook, turn the outgoing mail scan off, then restart Outlook
and try sending. (Sometimes a reboot is required after turning the mail
scan off)

Hi-
This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.

A good website for information on OE is:
