I can send e-mail but I can't recieve via outlook express The most common problems for people having trouble sending/receiving email a 1. You are using the wrong mail server settings. Check your ISP's website ( or that of your web hosting company if your mail host is other than your ISP) for the correct mail server settings for POP (Incoming) and SMTP (outgoing). Most ISP's will also have a "walkthrough" to show you how to set up mail using popular email clients such as Outlook Express, Eudora, and Thunderbird. If they don't have instructions for Windows Mail yet, use the ones for Outlook Express. 2. You have "outgoing mail server requires authentication" checked when it does not. Or vice versa. 3. You are trying to send mail through an SMTP server that isn't your regular ISP; i.e., you are trying to send mail through AT&T's server when your ISP is Comcast. Some ISP's care about this and some don't. 4. Your user name and/or password are incorrect. Yes, you do have a user name and password for your email. It probably has just been a long time since you set this up (or someone else set it up for you) and you've forgotten. Look through your ISP-related documentation or contact your ISP. They will be able to tell you your user name and assign you a new password. 5. Your antivirus is set to scan emails and/or is one that causes problems with your operating system (such as McAfee in Vista). Turn this option off since it doesn't provide you any extra protection and tends to cause problems. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"
