Re: receive but cannot send email

Yes, thanks Bruce. This is not the problem on this occasion as nothing has
altered in regards of A/V programme and all other computers on network using
same A/V work fine. Any further suggestions?

If the message gets to Sent Items, then it was received by the server. The
only possible exception is e-mail scanning which can fool OE into thinking
the message was sent when it wasn't.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program
and reinstall in Custom Mode and opt out of e-mail scanning when the option
arises.
I am running OE6 with Windows 98 and suddenly emails cannot be sent. No
