sending e-mails

[Jean Somers]

I am running Vista Home Premium 64 and I am trying to send pictures from the
Windows Photo Gallery to myself to down load on my pictures on the hard
drive. The windows e-mail works to recive messages but will not send them.
My internet provider is Comcast. I too am hating vista more every day. Can
someone help me. I have done everything I was told to do about setting up
the mail and I am extremely frustrated.

What error message are you getting? Right-click on it, select Copy, then
Paste in into a reply here.

It may be because you're not connected to Comcast's network, and they're
blocking port 25. They do have an alternative port to use, but they've been
lax in informing their customers.

Why are you using email to do this instead of a network? You could run into
email size problems.

I don't understand. Aren't Photo Gallery and your hard drive
on the same computer? Why would you email those pictures?

Your Comcast connection may fail to send if you are not using
their latest email settings:

If you need more help, post the complete error message.

"SMT" is not a proper mail server name.
Who is your email service provider? Or to ask that question another way,
what is the part of your email address after the @ symbol?
Your mail provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider.

Verizon email support is a bit of a mess because they have
four different email systems. You will have to pick out the one
that applies to you:
