Thanks all for your replies. It sounds like my easiest solution would be to
load Outlook and run the wizard (which is what I meant by Outlook finding the
mail server). One thing where I am a little bit confused is this:
I have dsl at my house. My email works fine at my house. We have comcast
at my workplace. I can enter my dsl mail server and the app sends emails
from my dsl sever fine at the workplace. But my friend also has comcast - is
comcast different for home use than business use? Or is the comcast at the
workplace just using my windows login information to authenticate me?
And I have read something about port 587 is it? for sending email other
than port 25? Do I modify the app config file for this?

I want to build an simple email smtp client app similar to outlook except.
with some custom features for a personal computer that uses comcast cable.
The owner of the computer said she doesn't have a comcast email and uses
gmail instead, but the internet service provider is comcast. This computer
also does not have MS Office loaded - otherwise I would open Outlook and see
what mail server it is using.
On my development machine at my home, I use dsl and can access the mail
server from my dsl provider which is the same mail server that my Outlook is
using (actually, I got the mail server from Outlook). And on my workstation
at the workplace (which uses comcast), I can also reach the mail server from
my dsl. But on my friend's personal computer, I could not reach the mail
server from my dsl provider or from her comcast provider. Bottom line - I
don't really know how mail servers and email work - too well. I found a
sample email smtp client app on the net (in C#) which I was able to apply to
my personal computer at my home, and also at my workplace. But same code not
working on my friend's computer - it either can't resolve the mail server or
access denied.
Is there a way I could find what mail server is available for this computer
the way Outlook would find it without having to load Outlook on this
computer?
Thanks,
Rich
