Outlook 2007 NOT sending emails

[1skydiveguy]

The emails I am sending are showing as sent but are not being sent.
The problem just started today. I can receive email but I cannot send
email. I use a Pop3 account and have never had any problems until I
bought a new laptop last week! I used Outlook problem free for an
entire week!

PLEASE HELP!
- yes I have validated the addreses
- yes I can send email via my web mail
- yes I ran repair on Outlook itself.

When trying to send do you get any error messages about connecting to your
pop server ?

I had a similar prob the other day after a fresh install and windows update,
it turned out that my firewall was blocking port 110.

Worth checking.

If the messages are moving from Outbox to Sent Items, that's a strong
indication that your outgoing SMTP server has accepted the messages. It's
no longer and Outlook issue at that point, but an ISP issue. Nonetheless,
you can make sure your server has accepted the messages by enabling
diagnostic logging and checking.

confront your ISP with proof that the problem is theirs.
