Will Receive, Won't Send.

[John in Shoreline]

I have Outlook 2003. I can receive and send e-mails on
Outlook Express just fine. I can receive e-mails on
Outlook. I just can't send e-mails in Outlook. They just
sit in my outbox. I have all the correct little check
boxes checked in the tools options dialogue boxes--I went
over them with a techie from my internet provider,
Earthlink.
Here's the truly weird part...the "Send/receive All"
button is missing. Sometimes it's there for a second or
two when I start up, then it disappears. It's not lurking
in Tools Customize either.
I first was using the Outlook 2003 Trial version, then
removed it and installed the full Outlook 2003
Professional. I had the identical problem in both.
Help (not that I'm really expecting any).
I have full virus protection from McAfee with all the
latest updates. I have all the latest downloads from
Microsoft also.
