Hi, I've also been using windows mail for a month or two, and now find that
as of 25th May I can receive but not send mail. All sent mail shows as sent,
moves to the sent items folder but does not arrive. I can't send to myself,
and am also using a Dell machine. Any ideas? Please make any response simple
- I am.

Can you e-mail the recipients from your machine using another e-mail
application?
 
Just realised that E-mails sent on Thursday 24th have not been replied to
either. Same day as TMH UK who posted earlier with the same problem.
 
I've no idea. I've only ever felt the need for one E-mail application. Never
tried using another. If its any help I can e-mail from a web page (e-bay etc).

I too am having the exact same problem and funnilly, it started on the same
day as
your problem. Can,t solve it yet but will keep in touch.
Vista is presenting lots and lots of niggles !!
 
I am having the same problem with my e-mail. It started on May 24th. How do
we get MS to solve this problem?
 
When you say "I can't send to myself", what does that mean? What
happens when you try?

If you are running either McAfee of Norton antivirus, uninstall it,
reboot and try again. If it still doesn't work, recreate your email
account, then delete the old account.

If all else fails, try a different email program, such as
Mozilla Thunderbird:

Hi
Complete technofool here but with the same 'cannot send email' problem as
already described. Running Vista Home Basic on Dell E520. Did actually
uninstall McAfee at roughly the same time this problem started. Any
connection? Also how do you recreate your email account in windows mail?

Cheers
 
To recreate one's email account:
Tools, Accounts, Add, Mail, follow the prompts to add a
new account, use the same settings as the old account, then
delete the old account.

"Cannot send" problems may have different causes. Don't
assume that someone else's fix applies to you.

Try this:

1. Go to the Vista start menu and type cmd
2. The search results will display a program titled cmd
3. Right-click on the link and select "Run as administrator"
4. type "netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled" without
the quotatioin marks
5. Test your POP account and see if you can now download your mail.
6. If nothing changes, reenable the autotuning feature by typing
"netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=normal"

If you have messages stuck in the outbox, you can try this also:

Ok,
First, I can download e-mails, but cannot send them. They appear to be sent,
they just don't arrive at their destination.

I've tried removing McAfee and rebooting. No luck.

I've tried setting up a new E-mail account with the same settings. Still no
luck.

Toying with scrapping Vista and installing XP, do you think its the
operating system or because its a Dell machine. Seems everyone with this
problem has a Dell. (Mines an E520 also.)

If it was a problem with Dell E520's running Vista HP I'd have the problem
but I haven't.

However mine isn't a standard set up since within a couple of days
after delivery I wiped out the whole system and rebuilt it from scratch
adding only the software I needed as and when it was required.

Note. Originally I used the supplied McAfee antivirus,
then the BT supplied Norton but have latterly been persuaded
that Avast is the lesser of several weevils.
 
I have identical problem. I did follow all the above suggestions but no
cigar. It has to be Vista.
Please keep talking and find a cure.
Thanks
 
I am having the same thing - but I DON'T have a Dell. It is annoying as all
heck, since I have been here trying to send the same IMPORTANT email for 3
days.
 
I agree that its a tiscali problem. Their phone message says they are aware
of a problem and they are trying to solve it.
