I'm currently on holiday in America and I've brought my laptop over so I can still send and receive email via my Blueyonder account. The receiving is working just fine but for some reason it won't send. My sent emails are just sitting in the Outbox, going nowhere and when you do the Test Account Settings in Tools>Email Accounts... it fails to find the outgoing server (SMTP), telling me to check the port and server name or that my server may not SSL.

This worked just fine two days ago in England, do I have to change something due to my location? And how come receiving is still working fine?

Many thanks,
Mart

It's probably because Outlook it set to use the SMTP server of your ISP.

Aaaah, is there any way to switch it temporarily? For the month I'm in America.

I don't think you can because whatever connection you are using here won't act as a relay. It's a spam prevention thing.
