If you can get mail but not send it, it sounds like a configuration problem. Are you sure the servers settings are correct in the pc? You could have an extra space or something.

check it out

hello
what distro of linux do you use??
kindly check the configuration like zigzag say.
maybe there is something on POP3 that's can't download it.

hi, i'm running fedora 3 v1.3. we have 30 PC's using the same server win xp & vista but none of them had the same problem. i have have check all the setting on the PC & they are fine. my incoming is 192.168.0.1 and so is the outgoing, thats why its making sense to me.

hello..
when you down grade and using outlook 2003, start from setting the pop3 incoming and outgoing mail server, test setting on it. and see that incoming and outgoing completed.
