Okay here's the deal with my outlook express. I can receive email okay but I can't send it. The Outbox is holding my messages but won't send them. I have tried my host email and was able to send mail through that just fine. What I keep getting ( An unknown error has occurred. Subject 'Re: Hi update about your order, Notification of payment received', Account: 'Trainer81 DG', Server: 'mail.gtpals.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0B ) Any input would be helpful.

Are you positive the smtp server information is correct? "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown

While it was ft.gtpals.com which I changed after my hosting (admin) friend advised it. Still the same error I'm getting. I'm thinking of a reinstalling windows if I can't get this. Since I've been using outlook I haven't had any problem until now. Doing some searching on google right now. Power3

Hey yeah that was some good insight man! 0x800CCC0B - Server busy or incorrect domain on sender's email address The mailserver may be slowing down because of heavy email traffic. Wait 5 minutes and try again If the problem continues check the service status page to see if there is a known problem with email service Check your email settings and make sure you are using the correct format for your email address This method it offered didn't help much so I am still exploring input to this problem. I'm going to ask my host admin if he can check the connections between my host and outlook. I have to do this reinstall I want to find the problem first you know. Avoid something like this in the future :) My buddy wanted to interface with my computer maybe I should let him? I know this is not a big problem cause I can still (Rec) email okay and I have gmail as a backup... Just thinking of my computer health right now! Thanks all for your input, Power3

Why not check with your ISP to make sure the outgoing server is correct? "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown

An XP reinstall isn't going to help! If you have more than one account, make sure that you are trying to send with the correct one. In other words check your default address setting.
