I am baffled, Outlook 2010 will not send emails

I try to stay away from Microsoft as much as possible if there are at least reasonable alternatives. I think i will try to tweak Avast. I don't like the way Bill Gates is running around the world telling everyone to get vaccinated . . . . oops, this is not a political thread is it? my bad.

and so obviously there are no reasonable alternatives

Now what do I do with this, let it go? Obviously you didn't take into account my qualifier . . . . so I count this as maybe a dig . . . . perhaps, unless you don't read well . . . . naw . . . . I'll let it go. I'll consider that you broke the first rule of charitable discussion and so any common sense I might have to offer may be soiled upon.

I just suggested this to another User of Avast:
https://support.avast.com/index.php?...458&nav=0,2,64

Maybe of some use to you... :)

Thank you.

I have been to this website and checked everything. Encryption is not checked and everything else checks down. Still cannot send emails through outlook 2010 when the option in avast 'scan outgoing emails' is checked.

FWIW:

If you don't care for anything Microsoft, you seem to have made their bottom line richer with office 2010 and buying windows 7.

There's no need to hurl insults. And you did come in here asking about an issue using Microsoft products - Windows and Office 2010.

We offered you an alternative solution to your issue..... and you turn around and bash the very company whose products you're already using - for no reason other than not liking the "former" CEO??? OK.

Peace

Ok, you're absolutely right, I'm absolutely wrong. You won . . . I lost.

Getting back to the main thing, thanks for the time you spent helping.

I just got a new nice laptop dell computer (my old laptop running windows 7 64 bit and Office 2007 is all working fine - sending emails fine on a POP3 account).

The problem is, Outlook 2010 will not send emails with the same POP3 settings. I have been all over this with my ISP, changed the outgoing port from 587 to 25, changed my outgoing mail server to smtp.ipower.com to myusername.ipower.com. Nothing seems to help. My ISP swears it is a defect with outlook and windows 7, but how could that be?

Error I get when trying to send an email:
Task 'myemailaddress@livingwaterfunding.net - Sending' reported error (0x8004210B) : 'The operation timed out waiting for a response from the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

HELP! thx

Have you installed google chrome that would give you an administrator problem. Secondly did you configure your settings Manually which i think you have don't do it manually let outlook do it. I think that will solve your problems except your hyper links won't work if you installed Google Chrome but you can let me know and i will tell you how to fix that.
