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

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.
