Using OS XP and IE 7, OE 6.
I've used OE for years with a dial up service and today I got a cable
connection. I've kept the dial up connection, but now I can no longer send
E Mail from OE. I can, however, receive it in OE.There are no other changes
that I know of. It can't verify the ID and PW, or it can't find the servers
for either the dial up or the cable. Can anyone help??
thanks
Pryan

Check with your ISP for the server settings for your email.
In OE, Tools, Accounts, Mail tab, Properties, Server tab.

Many ISP's block the Outgoing SMTP Server if it's not their own one.
Change both Accounts' Outgoing SMTP Server to that of your ISP's.

Your old ISP may not allow incoming connections to their SMTP message
submission server if the connection is not on their IP network. When you try
to connect from your new connection, it will fail because it has the wrong
IP address.

When you keep multiple ISPs, you need to learn more about how SMTP access
works than most people want to know. It wasn't always like this; just
another way that spammers have ruined the Internet for everybody else.
