Outlook Express only sends upon computer Re-Start (then eventually fails again): Why?

dimsumfan · #1 August 2nd, 2006, 07:06 PM

I can't get Outlook Express (6, on a PC) to send emails in my Outbox. I have to restart the computer, then I can successfully send the emails. But moments later, I again can no longer send new emails.

Any help on this one?

It's obviously very annoying.

Thanks!

Okay, here's a remarkable update to this situation:

If I'm signed on to AOL (via their software, Version 9.0 Security Edition), I CANNOT send email via Outlook Express.

But when I sign off AOL, I CAN send my email - but then my Internet Explorer (version 6.0.2900.xxxx) does NOT work. I get a "Cannot connect to server" message.

Now I'm really baffled. What's going on???

Just AOL trashing another computer.

Thanks. Any solutions to suggest - with the premise that AOL has worked for me forever (silly me, I suppose) and I'd like to keep everything working.
