It sounds as if you kept no record of accounts configuration data for OE -- so you must experiment e.g. on / General -- Include/exclude this account on / Server -- Secure Authentication login (checked or not?) -- Outgoing Server Authentication (Yes/No) and so on . . . even including various ports (although a phone call to your ISP will suffice for these.) When you have debugged OK, it may help to save to file all details of all config. settings (and your internet passwords) for consultation or future reinstallation. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)

Re: outlook express "ColTom2" <noemailaddress[ at ]nomail.com> 11/14/2008 3:14:37 PM You need to post on the "microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general". Also you do not indicate who your ISP is etc. For starters you should contact your ISP and most likely they can resolve your issue.

Almost always anti-virus software can be used to remove it. > I have mcafee but the virus got me anyway. McAfee is the second worst anti-virus software available. Only Norton is worse. I recommend that you switch to NOD32 is you are willing to pay a fee, or Avast, if you want a free anti-virus program. > Now my outlook express > will accept e-mail but I cannot send.

Contact your ISP to get instructions for what are the correct settings to use in Outlook Express.
