I have a desktop running WIndows XP Pro SP2 and also a laptop w/windows xp pro SP1... but are connected via dlink airport extreme wireless router.

I cannot SEND EMAIL through Microsoft Outlook, but I can receive it.

I disconnected the router and connected cable modem to my desktop and still can't receive email...

When I do a test email... it just stalls out and says stmp server timeout.

Thinking it's the Windows Firewall or Norton Anti-Virus blocking something.

Any thoughts on what I can do to SEND EMAIL...
I just got a Dell Dem 3850 w/Norton running Live Updates

I've tried removing Norton- reinstalling- no luck
I have to have the WIndows XP Pro Firewall disabled so I can receive email- if I turn it on- I can't send or receive.

Thanks for the help.... I've got days into this already to no avail

Hi,

Try reading through this thread. Perhaps your ISP requres SSL.

Scroll to the bottom where I finally got the answer I needed. Same syptoms as you. It took me hours of time to figure it out - you'll see that i was very frustrated.

Let me know how it works out.

It seems more likely you've entered the wrong outgoing (stmp) address in the account set up.
