Yes, if the account's been configured correctly.

It's possible, but your ISP may block ports normally used, forcing you to
use a mail server that utilizes alternate ports. For instance in the US, Cox Cable, and others, block port 25. "Ragid" wrote in message ... I want to use in outlook express some other SMTP server for outgoing mail server( one that is not support by my ISP). Is it possible? Regards Ragid

For example, you could get a Gmail account or a Yahoo! Mail Plus account, both of which provide their own SMTP servers. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Program http://mvp.support.microsoft.com

Look in the properties, the name of the SMTP (and POP3) server is in there somewhere. But your ISP may block you. Many ISPs block any use of port 25 (the standard SMTP port) except for accessing their own SMTP server. This is a spam-fighting step. If your ISP does this, you're gong to be out of luck unless you can use an SMTP server on a non-standard port. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(Shell/User) http://members.cox.net/slatteryt
