Re: emails

Sorry about that, I wanted to keep it brief. Too brief I guess.

My email goes into the outbox and basically sits there. There is no
acknowledgement that anything was sent and as a result, nothing shows up in
the sent folder. I don't get an error message or even see a time out. I
was having the same issue with Outlook Express and Thunderbird. I talked
with Comcast and they suggested that I change the ports to 587 from 25. I
did that and they worked.

Just to fill in a couple of more pieces. Comcast is my ISP for access to
the internet and thus I use (smtp.comcast.net). Incoming mail comes through
another isp, where my domain has been kept for many years.
(mail.vgernet.net). I am getting mail in.

The furstrating part is that this was not a problem yesterday morning. It
is also where I run my business. I use Outlook as my database and
everything runs through it.

I have been using comcast as my outgoing server (smtp.comcast.net) for
years and all of a sudden, I can't send email out through outlook. I can
receive without any problems. Is anyone experiencing this same problem.



And what happens when you try? Remember, no-one here can see your machine,
so a vague question like yours will not help anyone to help you.
