Default Can't Send e-mails - Outlook 2003

John Mc,
I was replying to AMuglach, the OP of the thread, I failed to see that I was
replying to your posting, in the thread, your message or question was not
part of the posting.

I do not have a verizon acct, and couldn't go to far into their Help pages,
but a glimpse through their website, it appears that have multiple mail
services handling their customers email accts. Such as Yahoo, MSN, Hotmail,
AOL, etc...

What you might need to do is change the Outgoing Server port settings from
the default Port:25, in your Outlook application. If you PC is behind a
router or has a firewall/security program installed. Make sure that the
router or firewall/security program is not set to block the below listed
Ports.

In Outlook 2003 Tools Email Accrs Change or View Email accts Select a
Verizon acct one by one Change button More Settings Button Advance Tab
Change Outgoing Server Port setting to one of the following common Port
settings, it will be trial an error.
Port: 465
Port: 587
Port: 995
I would also increase the timeout setting a minute or two. Also make sure
the box is "checked" for just the outgoing server:
"This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL).
Then test and see if you can send an email message. If you can't try another
port setting. If it works then, change the setting for each of your other
Verizon Accts.

If that fails, you need check their website for your particular mail
service, or call Verizon, and ask assistance in setting up their email
accts.

Rich,

I couldn't tell from your reply, whether or not you saw MY description of a
problem identical to AMuglach's; I gave a lot more detail about the error
messages. The SMTP server I have always specified (successfully) for Verizon
is: "outgoing.verizon.net". Are you suggesting something diffferent?

By the way, two additional facts I forgot to mention: (1) I removed and
reinstalled Outlook 2003, in case my software had become corrupted; that
made
no difference. (2) I CAN send emails using Verizon's website, from the same
4
email addresses I use with Outlook. It's just much clumsier: only one
account
(address) at a time, and (worst of all) NO address-book capability that I
know of. I have to copy/paste each address from my Outlook address book.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

AMuglach,
Your Outgoing Mail Server should be:
smtp.everestkc.net

The setup instructions for email is for Outlook Express, but the email
acct's mail server settings will be the same if you use Outlook.

with Outlook as all their connections are set and working correctly.
The

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

Can anyone suggest a solution for me?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.
