I have Outlook 2007 and am using Windows Vista. I have been trying to add an
email account to my outlook for about a week. I can received emails but
cannot send. I get the following message when trying to send the test email:

Send test e-mail message: The operation timed out waiting for a response
from the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message,
contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).

I have no problems sending from other email accounts in Outlook. I can use
the same settings and send from my Pocket PC.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
I had read an earlier reply about uninstalling the antivirus and making sure
no email settings were checked so I did that. My smtp are set according to my
empoyers specifications. It works for a coworker who is using Outlook 2003.

Do you have the SMTP setting correct? Are you using an antivirus scanner to
scan outgoing email?

yes. a coworker took my info and tried it on her outlook 2003 and it worked
perfectly. She sent me screen shots of exactly what she did - it was exactly
what I was doing. I tried sending from both my laptop and desktop and
with/without PC Cillin installed.
