Outlook 2002 is the version of Outlook containined in Office XP.
 
Thank you Brian for your information. The Next question is then how can I fix
the hung up problem. When I sent the error message that poped up to MS it
came back with the suggestion to go to the update site and when I did this it
came back with the answer that it is updated to the latest update, not much
help there is it ?

it? What is the EXACT text of the error and exactly when does it occur?
 
The Type of account is a personal Internet e-mail account (POP3/SMTP),
Incoming mail server is POP3, outhgoing mail server SMTP with Shawcable
Company.
The Configuration is a menu driven setup step by step input to Microsoft
Outlook mail setup program .

The EXACT text of error message is copied below, and is occuring randomly
any time just hang up asking me send the message and then closes itself.

On what OS are you running this? It appears that you are encountering a
known problem in Outlook 2002 but since it is no longer under active
support, you are being told it's a problem Microsoft won't be fixing. I've
got appliances like that as well. The parts needed to fix them are no
longer available so if they break, I'll need to replace them.
