I'm having problems with my Outlook sending my email. It will recieve incoming emails but it doesn't send messages that are in my Outbox. I have to go in and click on each message and click send a second time.

Anyone else have this problem?

 

Check your settings to make sure that it is sending mail everytime it checks for mail on the server.

 

From Outlook Help:

If you use offline folders or Remote Mail, you must use different commands to send and receive messages. For information about how to send messages or check for new messages, see "Working Offline" in Outlook Help.

If you open a message in the Outbox, or edit it and then save changes, the message is not sent. Open the message, and then click Send. Messages waiting to be sent are formatted in italic in the Outbox.

You may have specified that messages not be sent until the next send/receive. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Mail Setup tab. Select the Send messages immediately when connected check box. A message is sent when you click Send in the message. If you connect using a LAN, messages are sent in the background. If you use a dial-up networking connection, Microsoft Outlook tries to connect to the server after you click Send in a message.

 

i don't think this is the problem you are having but ms stopped pop3 support for hotmail unless you upgrade their service.

i am receiving hotmail through outlook express but it won't let me send unless i sign in through the web. you can't even receive mail if you didn't have outlook configured prior to the change.

 

Click "tools", then click "options" , mail setup, send receive,. Then see if it is set up to automatically send and receive or change the amount of time that your computer will automatically send/receive messages.

 

Thanks guys, that was the problem...it was set up to only recieve messages and not send them. It used to be set on both, I'm not sure what happened!
