Can't send email via Outlook while in WinXP Virtual Mode

richnville,

Thanks for hanging in there with me in an effort to resolve the problem of not being able to send or receive mail in Outlook 2003 in XP Mode.

When I come to the screen that you picture above, namely the second one on the right where "More Settings" is encircled, the Server Information is already filled in, its reads "Hotmail" because I am using my hotmail account and not a pop 3 account. When I click More Settings, and come into another screen where the first tab is General; there Hotmail is again already filled in. There is nothing to change.

Sorry that I cannot yet attach thumbnails. I haven't installed a program for that in XP Mode. I will do that.

richnrockville,

I think you are right. The problem is probably Hotmail. I prefer using Outlook to access my hotmail account but if its not possible in the XP Mode its not terribly disappointing. I have Outlook 2010 in Win7 on my host machine.

I didn't know that there is a snipping tool in Win7. How do I access it?

Thanks for the tip.
