When I use VPN to connect to work from home, the outlook
can not finish sending outgoing emails. The progress bar
moves to the end but then stops there forever. It can
never finish. The receiving of new incoming emails work
fine. All other network functionality works, e.g. internet
browsing, telnet, ftp, etc, all work fine.
My system is win2k. I use linksys wireless DSL router.
I'd appreciate any hint!
 
Are you using Exchange server? I'd set up your mail profile to prompt you to
work offline or online - when using VPN, work offline with scheduled syncs.

If not using exchange, post back with more info - where are the mail servers
located, and are you sure you're using the right SMTP server and
authenticating to it if need be?
