I had problems a month ago. I could receive mail but when I sent mail, it
would show up in my sent folder but it never went out. I never got an error
either. I tried Windows Live Mail and it did the same thing. Before
re-installing Vista, I installed Office 2007 and now I use Outlook. Outlook
sends and receives as it should(Mail still doesn't work). Hope this helps.
 
Is a message appears in Sent Items, then it was received by your mail
server intact and the problem lies from that point on. There is one
exception though. E-mail scanning can fool your e-mail client into
thinking it was sent when it never made it.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving,
and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting
changes and has even been responsible for loss of messages. Your
up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the
program and reinstall in Custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the
option arises. I strongly suggest that especially in your case, you do it
this way.
