Sent items in outbox

[Mary Moon]

This isn't a suggestion but a question. I have been
trying to use Outlook 2003 but keep coming up with a
problem. Every time I send an e-mail it shows up in
my "outbox" as not being sent. When I click on the SEND
button it get a message indicating it was sent but the it
goes to the outbox, not the sent items folder, and since
it is in italics in the outbox, from the online and
offline help, I take that it was not sent. Also when I
go to close Outlook I am told there are messages in my
outbox that haven't been sent. So I go to send them and
the same thing happens. All my message that were in my
ISP's e-mail services inbox have been transfered to my
Outlook inbox fine so I know that some part of this
program works. I have been working online each time so
it's not because I have been woking offline.Why is this
happening and how do I resolve it. The offline and online
help has not been any help at all.

How are your send/receive settings set up? Do you have authentication on
for your ISP mail server properties?

Didn't think of that. With my old Outlook, 2000 & XP, it
was automatic with my old ISP. I not only changed
Outlooks but also changed ISPs. I'll check with them to
see what thr right configuration should be.
