Can't send email in outlook

All of my email setting have been check by my ISP and they can't figure out what the problem is. I don't have a server or internet connection problem.

This is the error I get when trying to send email:

Task 'incoming.yahoo.verizon.net- Sending' reporting error (0x800CC0F): the connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or internet service provider (ISP). The server responded: 553

    Thank you for your response!

    Need help ruling a few things out.



    1.) I CAN'T send email with Outlook 2003 but I CAN send email with Outlook Expess.

    2.) When I change or us a different user ID, email address etc. in the Outlook 2003 email setting I CAN send email.



    So, it looks like the Outlook is working OK. (only if I use different UserID info in the email settings)



    (Strange)



    For some reason the Outlook has an issue sending email with a particular userID & email address. (which is the one that I primarily use)



    What can be the problem with my primary UserID & email with Outlook 2003 that won't send my emails?



    I have run a scan and there's nothing there.



    Do you think if I upgrade my Microsoft programs & software will new software solve my issue?

You may want to try to access the mail server through
another email client, such as "Courier Mail" from rose city:

http://www.rosecitysoftware.com/Courier/

This will tell you whether the problem is in your outlook settings,
or elsewhere. If Courier works, you may decide to stick with it,
it is simple to setup, and far superior.

If the courier mail does not solve the problem, you may have to
go through the "re-install network wizzard routine" again, disable
the windows firewall, disable the router firewall, disable all other
security widgits until you find what is blocking the email access.

This is assuming of course that you do not have server or
server settings problem as you said.

You may also have a rootkit or a virus lurking in the IP stack,
or the email protocol drivers, so scan your machine.

    Hi,
    1) If another email client such as outlook express can access
    the email at the server ---> Then your network and TCP/IP
    stack is working just fine.

    2) If Outlook 2003 can access another account at the same server,
    then the email socket and the global settings in outlook 2003
    are also fine.

    So far so good !!!

    3) The only thing that remains is the per account settings
    on outlook 2003 = Target server/provider and login info.

    4) If the working account, which you can access from Outlook
    2003 is on the same server/provider as the one that does not
    work, try:

    a) Clone (copy) the good account/profile into a new one

    b) Rename the new account to:
    __02

    c) Edit the login settings on the new account (02),
    to reflect the correct:
    email-address/user-id/server-password.

    (leave all other settings as is)

    d) delete the old (bad account)

    If this fixes the problem you had gremlins within the server
    settings, mode of password authentication, ...etc.

    If the new account still does not work, than all the settings
    are OK, but you have the wrong USER-ID or password.

    ----------
    I choose not to use OUTLOOK in any form because it
    has major (and numerous) security holes, to many useless
    features and it is a shiny target for every hacker on the planet.

    So I prefer to use "Courier Mail" from rose City Software,
    formerly Calypso Mail.

    So I am NOT an expert on outlook details, but...
    -------------
    1) We have confirmed that your network/TCP/IP stack is OK.

    2) The outlook 2003 installation is OK.

    3) We are about to confirm if the Server/Provider settings are
    OK, including the SMTP/POP3 server addresses and mode
    of PASSWORD authentication.

    4) The only thing that remains, or is different from the working
    account will then be the Password, email-address/user-id

    Good hunting.

Cannot send email but I can receive email. What is the problem? Yahoo email

Hello, ''Wanda'' sorry, for your problem. If you're able to receive but unable to send mail using your POP mail client (such as Outlook), please review the possible troubleareas below. SMTP Server In the fight against unsolicited commercial email (spam), some Internet service providers require their subscribers to send mail through the ISP's own SMTP servers. If you experience problems sending email, please contact your ISP to determine if it requires different SMTP server settings. Youwill need to use the ISP's SMTP server in place of Yahoo!'s SMTP server when configuring your POP mail client. The following is a partial list of ISPs that require you to use their SMTP servers. If your ISP is among them, try replacing the Yahoo! SMTP server with the ISP server in your POP mail client settings, or consult the ISP's help files.

I am running outlook 2007 in Windows 7. I can receive email, but cannot send emails

That would be a mail server setting in Outlook. You'll need to use the correct email server and login info from your ISP. Odds are, your account credentials/logins are being rejected or you're not using the correct port for the server.
I'd go to your ISP's site and look how to set up IMAP or POP3 in Outlook. :)

OUTLOOK ERROR 550 5.7.1 Your email contained wrongly placed script tags. Please correct this (try setting your mail program to use plain text) and resend your message. PLZ REPLAY FAST

If you are receiving an error when sending email using Outlook:

"The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. Server Response: '550 not local host, not a gateway', Port: 25, Secure (SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79"


Open your Outlook settings (Tools > Accounts)
Go to View/Change email account for the email account you are having problems with.
Check that the SMTP Server is set to yourdomain.com
Go into the "More settings", "Outgoing Server" tab and make sure that the option "My server requires authentication" for the Outgoing server is checked ON.


Save and close all windows.

Try again.

If the problem continues then the problem is that your Internet Service Provider is blocking the mail server. ISPs do this to prevent spam on their network. When this happens you will need to use the mail server that they provide you instead of your own. The mail server is generally smtp.yourISPname.com, however, it could be different so please contact your ISP to get the details.

If you do not want to use your ISPs server for SMTP, and the ISP is blocking port 25, you can switch the port to 587 for your outgoing mail and use mail.yourdomain,com for the SMTP server name.

Can receive but can't send email

I can receive but can't send mail using my POP mail client. Why? If you're able to receive but unable to send mail using your POP mail client (such as Outlook), please review the possible trouble areas below.
SMTP Server
In the fight against unsolicited commercial email (spam), some Internet service providers require their subscribers to send mail through the ISP's own SMTP servers. If you experience problems sending email, please contact your ISP to determine if it requires different SMTP server settings. You will need to use the ISP's SMTP server in place of Yahoo!'s SMTP server when configuring your POP mail client.
The following is a partial list of ISPs that require you to use their SMTP servers. If your ISP is among them, try replacing the Yahoo! SMTP server with the ISP server in your POP mail client settings, or consult the ISP's help files. (Learn more about configuring your client.)

SMTP Port
If you have adjusted your SMTP server, and you're still experiencing a problem, you may need to use an alternate port. In an attempt to control spam, some Internet service providers now block port 25, which means you may need to use port 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. Learn how to change ports.
Antivirus Protection
If you have Norton AntiVirus enabled on your computer, you may have to make configuration adjustments to use Outlook or Outlook Express. For more information, visit the Symantec web site.

Am tring to set up my email on my new note book in out look express but dont seem to be able to come up with the log on page so am not able to do any thing like send an email can use email on my hotmail...

Outlook Express needs you to have an email account with your ISP, and your ISP should provide you with the setup items like Mail Servers. Once this isw done, you will have complete access to your email.

As an example, my ISP is Comcast and my mail servers are

mail.comcast.net to receive, and
smtp.comcast.net to send.

Your ISP will have their own servers, of course.

You will need to log in to these servers, using logins and passwords provided by your ISP. Outlook Express manages this as well.

Tried to send e-mail error host SMTP could not be found error code ox8oocccod do not understand what that means

It sounds as though you're using Outlook to send email to and from and ISP and not to or from a Microsoft Exchange server. If so, then the following applies.

The error message means that there is a configuration problem with your email account settings. This error usually happens when an error has been made when specifiy the name of the outgoing (SMTP) mail server.

Note: It may be necessary to contact your ISP to obtain their specific mail server information. The standard port number for Incoming mail (POP3) is 110. The standard port number for Outgoing mail (SMTP) is 25.

Here's what you need to do to verify your settings:

1. Contact your ISP to obtain their specific mail server settings.
2. Open Outlook
3. Click on the "Tools" menu item then click on "Account Settings".
4. Make sure you are on the "Email tab" of the account setting dialog box.
5. Double click on the email account that is listed under "Name".
6. The Internet Email Settings dialog box will appear.
7. Look for the heading "Sever Information". Below that heading you will see Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server . Verify the names of your mail servers match the information given to you by your ISP.
8. If your ISP have provided you with port numbers other than those listed in the note above, perform steps 9 to 12. Otherwise proceed to step 13.
9. From the Internet Email Settings dialog box, click on the "More Settings" button.
10. Click on the "Advanced" tab.
11. Change the Incoming and Outgoing mail server ports to match the information provided by your ISP.
12. Click the OK button to save the changes.
13. Click on the "Next" button.
14. Click on the "Finish" button.
15. Click on the "Close" button to colse the account settings.

Outlook will now be configured properly to send and receive Internet Email.

How to manage two different email ids in microsoft outlook?

Considerations Before Accessing Multiple Accounts

Before using Outlook to access more than one email account there are some caveats to this type of access.

• All email will be delivered to one inbox unless another Outlook Data File is created for the account and a rule created to move the message to the data file. If storing all in email in one data file is acceptable then a rule can be created to move the email to a folder to keep accounts separate.

• When creating or replying to an email you need to select which account the email should be sent from. This is accomplished by selecting Accounts in the mail compose windows and selecting the account to use.

Steps for Setting Up an Additional Email Account:

1. Tools
2. Email Accounts
3. Select Add a new email account click Next
4. Select POP3
5. Fill in Your Name
6. Fill in Email address for account
7. Enter User Name for account
8. Enter Password for account - check Remember password if you don’t want to login each time you send and receive email.
9. Enter Incoming Mail Server (POP3) – Information provided by ISP
10. Enter Outgoing Mail Service (SMTP) – Information provided by ISP

If this is all the information the ISP requires then click Test Account Settings to determine if everything is setup correctly. If additional information is required follow the steps below. If Outlook can perform a test send/receive with no errors then you are finished! Click Next and then Finished.

If the test fails, check your settings to make sure everything is entered correctly. Pay close attention to the username and password fields as this is usually where the problem occurs.

Additional Information

If the ISP requires outgoing authentication follow these steps:

1. Click on More Settings
2. Click on Outgoing Server tab
3. Check the box next to My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication
4. Make sure the Use same settings as my incoming settings is selected
5. If this is all of the required information click OK and then Test Account Settings

If the ISP requires that Server Port number needs to be changed:

1. Click on More Settings
2. Click Advanced Tab
3. Change the Incoming or Outgoing Port Number to the number provided by ISP
4. Click on OK and then Test Account Settings

D-Link cant send email on outlook

You need to check your mail account settings and make sure the SMTP server is set to the fully qualified domain name of your ISP's SMTP server. Your ISP should be able to tell you what this is. You may be able to figure it out by looking at which server is set in the POP3 settings. It will likely be similar if not the same.
