I am having troubles with a friends Outlook Express configuration. The connection is fine, POP setings are correct, username and password are correct, Outlook Express does not want to authorize the connection. What is strange is that I can send from it quite happily.
Any answers or hints appreciated.
Cheers all

You mention that the pop settings are fine. Those are the settings that allow you to send mail. You must also enter the correct SMTP settings. Usually they will look something like this...SMTP.mail.yourisp.com...or if you are going though a LAN like this...SMTP-server.yourisp.com...
You didn't mention if you were using any type of antivirus program. Occassionally I have had a situation when using Norton where I have had to remove "pop3.norton antivirus" and replace it with ...pop.mail.yourisp.com...before I could properly send and recieve messages. Making this change did not appear to have any affect on Norton's ability to protect my system.
