I am having the same problem with Cox East email. Cox and MS give the same
basic setup instructions, Cox does not require authentication or SSL, nothing
special in the setup. Have deleted and readded the email account, but can
only receive, not send, email in Outlook 2003 on a Vista machine. This is
the first time using Outlook on this machine, but have set up Outlook on many
other computers in the past.

I have Outlook 2003 SP3 installed.

All of a sudden my outlook will not send e-mails. The just sit in my
outbox. I've not done any upgrades, it just quit sending. I can recieve
with no problems. I spoke to my internet provider who said it was a problem
with Outlook as all their connections are set and working correctly. The
message I get after attempting to send an e-mail in Outlook is:

Task "pop3everestkc.net" sending reported error (0x80042109) Outlook is
unable to connect to your outgoing SMTP e-mail server. Contract your server
adminstrator.

Can anyone suggest a solution for me?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.
