I set Outlook as my default mail handler but outgoing mail just sits in the
outbox and is never mailed

When you install Outlook, you can't just start it up and have it work without
specifying a mail address, servers for incoming and outgoing mail, etc. The
information is available from your ISP (internet service provider). Was this
done?
 
Just like any other software, before you can use Outlook, it must be
configured. The configuration is stored in what is called "Outlook Profile".
Kathleen is correct, ask your internet provider for the settings.
 
Thank you for your kind interest.
I use Outlook succesfully for everything except email, but I do not know
where to find Outlook Profile

Ray Reeves
 
Go to the Control Panel and double-click on the Mail applet. When you say you
use Outlook for other things, are you using it for calendaring, journalling,
etc.?
 
I just discovered the profile, and should be able to fix it now.
Much obliged
