Re: Faulty Port 25 (SMTP)?!?!

Well, then I'd suggest creating a new identity in Outlook Express and switch to it, then setup the problem email account in it and test it. It's very possible that your existing identity may have some registry corruption and creating a new identity creates all new registry keys for that identity (in effect, giving you an fresh, clean setup of Outlook Express). If the problem persists in a new identity, then I'd would still think it is a problem with your ISP and I would contact them or review whatever info they may have on a website (most ISPs have a website to provide info for their customers).

Okay: Thanks Jim once again for your valid feedback which I appreciated.

Hmm, as I stated in my initial report, the fault does not occur with my
other PC and which is connected to the SAME router (not wireless)
AND cable modem.  And I also encounter the SAME problem by
connecting myself DIRECTLY (ie. without the router) with my old
56k-modem onto the Internet and by using a complete DIFFERENT
ISP than the one with my cable modem!
So the fault has to be located "somewhere" within this specific PC only.

By the way: On my OE I also have a Hotmail address which (as you know)
uses instead of SMTP/Port 25, a HTTP-Server (ie. a URL to Hotmail).
Now, with this configuration...NO SUCH PROBLEM AT ALL!!
So that's why I'm quite sure that my SMTP-Link (passing thru Port 25)
must be the one corrupted "somewhere" along the line...

Yes, you can delete the Search Folders without problems.  As for the slow
mail problem, are you connected via a router or direct to a cable/dsl
modem? Or are you connecting wirelessly?  It could be a problem with a
router, a wireless card or some other piece of equipment installed and
could be better addressed in a newsgroup for networking problems since
they really are not problems with Outlook Express.  You also should
contact your ISP to find
out if there is some type of "throttling" going on for mail messages that
they may have instituted.  Many ISPs check outgoing mail for SPAM and
viruses which could be part of the problem.  Good luck.

Hi Jim,
Yep, I located now this file of mine <smtp.log>; thank you!!
However, after deleting it...no change re. my problem (unfortunately).
By the way: I also found 87x <Search Folder (39).dbx> (till #125):
Hmm, what are they and could I delete them "safely" as well??
And "any other suggestions" from you of how to solve my problem?
So thanks in advance for possibly additional tips from you...

Whenever I sent out an email, the data trickles only sporadic out (ie.
the blue screen of my network card does not light up continuously
until mail is sent out, but lights on and off all the time, taking
about
10 times longer to finally sent out such email than on my other PC,
where this incident does not occur! Therefore, the fault cannot be
at my standard SMTP mail server I'm using.

Since I don't have anymore an active virus scan on this PC involved,
it cannot be the cause of this extreme delay. I noticed also that the
green progressing bar does NOT appear at all and the arrow out from
the basket is NOT moving (during such transmission mode). It's only
at the very end when such mail finally goes out that this bar will
show
up at once...then completely and correctly filled up from left to
right!

And I also tried to use different email programs (such as Netscape),
but the same fault occurs.

So it seems that "somehow" the data-flow passing through this Port 25
is getting "squeezed" at one stage, prior of passing at the end
through
my (fast) cable modem; but where's/who's the "culprit" along its
path??
And do note too: Even if I use my old 56k-modem, same problem.

And even if I use a different Port# (ie. after having installed first
a special sw-program for outgoing emails)...no change at all (!).

Hence, any valid feedback would be highly appreciated;
thank you very much in advance...

Best regards,
Philippe B.
