Another Techie question (problems with Hotmail and Outlook Express)

[partygirluk]

Hi all,

I have hotmail set up in my Outlook express. It can receive messages, but every time I try to send one I receive an error message. Any idea how to resolve this?
Also, do you know of a good techie forum where I can post this stuff, rather than clogging up OOT?

Yeah, get a real email account. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sorry, I don't know anything useful.

It would be a great help to us if you could tell us what the error message said.

Are you sure that hotmail supports OE? Most free web-mail sites don't.

I don't think that's it, because he can receive messages.

I have heard that Hotmail can be a real pain though.

What is your SMTP server set to?

Open Internet Explorer:

click Edit, Type Hotmail.com, click "Allow"

Yeah, but you can get to what he was talking about all the same.

It's very easy.

Then follow the advice already given to you.
Put in hotmail.com and select [ALLOW]-->[OK]

I have no idea if this fixes your problem, but that's how to get to what he was talking about in XP.
