E-mails Microsoft out page changed earlier this year. i can now only send e-mails but not receive them how do i rectify this? plaese note i am not very technical so any solution must be put simply.

Hello,

What type of server that your e-mail account works with?
If you are using POP3 or IMAP account, please configure Incoming mail server.
You should try the given below solution to resolve the occurred issue:

Sol 1:
Open "Microsoft Outlook" >> Click on "File" tab >> "Account Settings" >> "Account Settings", locate your account and click on change.... then click on "More Settings" to configure Incoming mail server.



If you are using Microsoft Exchange account, check if you use cached exchange mode. If not, enable it. Click on "File" tab >> "Account Settings" >> "Account Settings" locate your exchange account and click on "change...."
Under server settings, check Use cached exchange mode.

You can check another setting to help resolve being able to send but not receive e-mail messages.

You can set up Microsoft Outlook to check for new e-mail messages at intervals of one minute to 1,440 minutes (one day).

On the "Send/Receive" menu, point to "Send/Receive Groups", and then click on "Define Send/Receive Groups".

Select the group that contains the e-mail account that you want to regularly check for messages.

Under Setting for group "group name", select the Schedule an automatic send/receive every x minutes check box.
Enter a number from 1 to 1440 in the minute's box.



Click on "Close" button. On the Send/Receive menu, click Send/Receive All folders.

Sol 2:
Open "Microsoft Outlook" >> Click on "File" tab >> "Account Settings" >> "Account Settings" >> Click on "Change Folder" button >> Change from whatever it was to: Outlook Data File - Inbox



Close the dialog, click on send/receive or press F9 button and see if it works.

Thanks & Regards

The sending function is heavily guarded against spammers using your mailbox to send spam. Unfortunately, this was not anticipated during the original SMTP protocol design 30 years ago, so today we have a hodge-podge of solutions for the thousands of mail servers we use today.

You have to figure out who is running your mail server and send your message to him or her. This website ain't it. Sorry.

Best of luck!

If you are trying to send or receive an email in Microsoft Outlook and the password doesn't work, you can check a number of different things. Microsoft Outlook validates your email account with your email provider using various settings. Once it has validated your settings, it will send or receive email. It is not only useful to set up your email correctly but essential if you wish to use Microsoft Outlook.

Gather all of the email settings for your email account. These will be located on your email provider's website in an FAQ or support section. If in doubt contact your email provider to provide all of the settings. Look for any of the following terms: POP, SMTP, IMAP, SSL, SPA, server, and port number. Make a note of all of these. Determine when the problem exists. Check if the problem occurs when sending an email, receiving an email, or both. If the password error only happens with either sending or receiving, this narrows down the source of the problem. Click "Start," type "Outlook" and press "Enter" to open Microsoft Outlook. Click "File > Info > Account Settings." Select your email account and click "Change." Click the "Incoming mail server" field, if your error was when receiving email but not sending. Enter the full "incoming mail server" address as provided by your email provider. If your email is "IMAP" then change the "Account Type" to display "IMAP." Click "More Settings > Advanced." Make sure that the incoming server "Port" number is the same as your email provider stipulates. If your provider requires SSL, then click "This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)." Click "OK." Click the "Outgoing mail server" field, if your error was when sending email. Enter the full outgoing server address. Click "More Settings > Advanced." Make sure the "Outgoing server" port is correctly set. If your email provider requires encryption, then select the correct type from the drop-down menu. Click "OK." Click the "password" field and make sure you have entered the correct password. If your mail provider requires "SPA," then click the "Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)" to enable it. Click "Next" and then "Finish." Your password should now work. Hope it helps.

Microsoft Outlook 2002 (XP) and 2003 From the Tools menu, choose E-mail Accounts. Click in the circle beside "View or change existing e-mail accounts." Click Next. Click the email account you wish to modify and then click Change. Click More Settings. From the tabs along the top, click "Outgoing Server." Check "My outgoing server requires authentication”. Also, make sure to check "Use same settings as my incoming mail server." Click OK. Click Next. Click Finish.
Microsoft Outlook Express From the Tools menu, choose Accounts. Select the "Mail" tab. Click the email account you wish to modify and then click Properties Select the "Servers" tab. Check the box next to "My Server Requires Authentication." Click the Settings button. Ensure that Use same settings as my incoming mail server is selected and click OK. Click Apply on the properties dialog box to confirm your changes and to close the window. Click Close on the Internet Account dialog box to complete the settings change. Click Close.

what application are you using??
OS doesn't control applications.
you can save the documents in 97-2003 Micrososft word format. Since Vista use Microsoft 2007 with extension of DOCC. Majority of the company have not yet inpleement 2007. it is safer to send the document in earlier version.

Note:
DO NOT SEND COVER LETTER AND RESUME IN THE E-MAIL ITSELF. SEND IT AS ATTACHEDMENT. E-MAIL IS ONLY FOR HEARDER, AND POINTS TO THE ATTACHEMENT.

Believe me, I know!

MAIL RECPEINT AS ATTECHMENT OPTION NOT VISIBLE IN MY OFFICE 2003 PROFESSIONAL

get the correct POP3 & SMTP address from your internet service provider. Then type them in accounts properties of the outlook express

check the mail settings for receiving and sending in tme mail options i think sending mail setting is wrong

In microsoft outlook, clik on Tools> E-mail accounts>View or change existing e-mail accounts>change > correct outgoing mail server (SMTP) settings and press Test Account Settings.
If you receive a Task error message: ( X Send test e-mail message "Failed" ) perhaps you have been disconnected by your e-mail provider.

try pressing F11. You are using the new yahoo mail interface right?
