Back in 2007, I had this issue and I am intrigued that this post has gone
on
for more than two years. I also noticed that you were part of the
discussion
in 2007.
As such I have since solved my problems with this and I wonder if there is
a
way that you can get the word out in broadcasting way.
Someone suggested that I set up a gmail account. I did so just for this
and
use that as my smtp for outgoing mail. My regular ISP is my incoming
account.
For the most part I have had no trouble. Occasionally I see things getting
stuck,
but that may be more a function of my computer itself, which is six years
old.
Because the outgoing emails are really coming out of gmail, they will stay
in the
sent box in gmail, as well as in my Outlook sent box. I go in every now
and
then and clean out the gmail outbox, since I already have them saved in
outlook.
Hope that helps.
