Hello there. I have been using this wonderful program for over years, and I never had problems at all. Until yesterday. Outlook Express just didn’t want to send any of email messages. Sometimes it tells me that the recipient might be reject by the server or there is no connection with the outgoing server. The idle time is too long. Anybody has some ideas on this? Thanks in advance.
This happens if your firewall decides to do so. This also might happen when your Internet Service provider is having some troubles, which usually doesn’t require that much time for situation to be clear. Anyway, is your outgoing mail server configured as it should be? If you have www.google.com as a provider for example, then the outgoing mail server should follow : smtp.google.com. If this is correct and you are sure that you didn’t try to change any options inside outlook, try reverting your system to an earlier state using System Restore service.
