  Hi, I had a similar problem with outlook express and I tried everything and nothing would work. Tried other email programs like eudora and Thunderbird but still could not send emails from Outlook Express. I could receive emails ok and I could log onto hosts internet server (tiscali, hotmail & eircom) & send messages fine. I thought it was my firewall or it was something to do with wireless server. I eventually found an excellent solution that works brilliantly. If all else fails this will definitely work. Just create your own server on your comuter for sending email. This cuts out middle man. This is so simple to do. One such email server is Podcast. See instructions on http://www.geekgirls.com/net_smtp.htm (excuse the poncy name of site) or alternatively go straight to http://www.postcastserver.com Download the free version 2.6.0 (there are other professional versions that you have to pay for) Install this and it will tell you what to do. Hope this helps. Any problems send me an email. Cathal
