Using POP for incoming, SMTP for outgoing

In Outlook Express, I could set up an account that used my company's POP3
mail server for incoming and my ISP's SMTP mail server for outgoing mail. I
have set all the same types of settings in Outlook 2002 (I've downloaded &
installed all the lastest patches, fixes, etc.).

It won't let me send. I can receive, but it won't send

Any ideas or further resources are appreciated.

What happens when you try? Have you configured your SMTP server settings
correctly, confirmed with your ISP? (as in, are you expected to
authenticate, use a different port, use SSL, etc?) As far as POP accounts
are concerned, Outlook doesn't do anything especially different from OE or
any other POP client.
 
In your account settings press More Settings... and on the Outgoing Server
tab configure your SMTP server with the username/password of your ISP
