Can some one who knows computers please help?

I changed my internet provider yesterday from wanadoo to plus.net. Now i cant send emails through outlook express but can still recieve them. I dont know whether its something i've actually changed myself to stop me sending them.

Thanks for any help

you need to set your SMTP server to plus.net - it's should be relay.plus.net

Do you know how to change it, or do you need some guidance?

Guidance would be much appreciated thanks

Check your SMTP server settings in Outlook Express.

In Outlook, click on "Tools", then "Accounts", click on your e-mail account then click the button "settings", then the tab "servers". Outgoing mail is probably smtp.nameofisp.net.

Give it a try

That's kind of saved me the bother except to add again - Outgoing mail (SMTP) server should be changed to [b]relay.plus.net[/b]

You should just be able to modify the settings - seems strange that you can't.
You could try adding a new account identical to the one you have - except enter the new SMTP.

Do you use MSN instant messenger?

Just to say thanks again Mark for your help. Top bloke

Has this problem been resolved? I'm with PlusNET and can provide a helping hand if still needed.

Also work in IT, so shouldn't be too difficult to solve. Although methinks, Mark has got it spot on already.

PlusNET do provide unlimited mail addresses. However if you do not wish to use the catch-all mailbox "postmaster@name.plus.com" you will need to set up a mailbox from the control panel.

It's very easy to do. And you could just as easily set up a forwarding mail address.
They all have individual passwords, so each member of your family, and friends can have their very own mail address on your PlusNET account.

Let me know if/when you need a hand.

Ok thanks guys for the advice. No doubt i'll be in touch in the week when it goes t*ts up

New problem with the outlook express email.

I tried to open my email this morning but its asked for username and password.

My password and username are already saved into the login so they are already there when it asks me.

But it wont log in. It just asks me again for username and password.

Can anybody PLEASE help

Thanks

Adie
