Can't send emails?

Hey everyone,

New around here and received my retail copy of Windows 7 yesterday and love it. I just have a problem with my emails. I'm using Microsoft Outlook 2010 Tech Preview with AVG 9 Free and Windows Firewall is turned off. I can receive emails but can't send :S. I get an error telling me it can't connect to the outgoing server or whatever. I’ve checked the details and it’s all the correct information and my mum who is located downstairs can send emails just fine.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks,

MattGarner

Update: Windows Mail works fine but would love for outlook to let me able to send emails :/

Yeah seems everything is fine. I can send email using Windows Live Mail but not in outlook 2010 and it's the same settings. :S

hi matt,
nothing to worry about just check the network outgoing server settings of your outlook. Solution of your query is there only.

It seems the port Outlook was using seemed to of been wrong. Changed it 25 and It started sending my emails.

Thanks :]
