I have decided I want to start using Outlook 2003 (after using Outlook
Express for years). I have the Office 2003 Professional Edition, which
includes Outlook.
I successfully imported my address book and email folders from OE.
I went through the steps of setting up an email account, tested it, says it
was successful; but I never did get the test email in Outlook. (I opened OE
and the test emails came in there just fine)
I tried to compose an email, and noticed there is no "send" button. Also,
when I go to File, New, the option of New Message is not there at all, the
first thing on the menu is New Post. In the Options, Email tab, where it
says Send/Receive immediately, I have it checked. I also clicked on the
Send/Receive button and I do not get any response. When I checked this
button on my laptop, I got another screen about selecting groups.
I have Outlook on my laptop, and it works fine. Same internet connection
(wireless). I did not have Outlook open on my laptop when I was setting up
the account on my desktop.
Using the Office Pro setup disk, I uninstalled Outlook. Rebooted the pc.
Re-installed Outlook, set up completely new email account, rebooted....
still no Send button.
I have gone to the Help section and all I can get out of the Help is that
you have to have an email account set up. Am I overlooking something else?
My email account is a LAN connection. (I use Hughes satellite, previously
DirecWay) Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
One other difference between the laptop and desktop, I use Trend PC-cillan
on desktop, and Norton on the laptop.
Thanks! Donna
