Re: Error PleaseHelp!

hmm....changed that still gives me the error message. As I read the error message more clearly it said Socket Error 10060...do you know what that means?

Thanks

Gotta love Google:

Socket Error # 10060

Analyse: You are on a an ISP (such as Earthlink or Mindspring) that blocks their users using any SMTP server other than their own.

Solutions: To set up Earthlink, Mindspring, or your ISP's SMTP servers for your outgoing email you must click on your account settings in the email client you are using (Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape etc.)

In the SMTP (outgoing mail server) field you will enter smtp.earthlink.net (or whatever your dial up or direct access ISP's SMTP server is) as your SMTP server. You must then enter your Earthlink (or your ISP's) username and password for that mail server.

In Outlook Express it is at the bottom of that same tab. You must uncheck 'My server requires authentication' and click on 'settings' to enter your Earthlink (or your ISP's) username and password.

Your email will still be from your own domain name, the only difference is in the way it is routed throughout the Internet. Instead of being sent through our servers it is processed through Earthlink (or your ISP's) servers. This allows Earthlink (or your ISP) to monitor its users.

Then it's time to start all over again. Delete that account from OE entirely, and start from scratch. There's a mistake in there somewhere, and the odds are excellent that it won't be repeated the second time through.

Do not do the auto create from cPanel, do it by hand.

Re: Error PleaseHelp!

Generally, you need to use the outgoing mail server for your ISP. So, since I am through shaw cable, I use 'shawmail' as my outgoing mail server for all e-mail accounts, even the ones for Guys Poker Night Out. You should be able to find these settings in any other e-mail addresses you have set up in Outlook Express, or by contacting your ISP. I am fairly sure this is your problem, since you can receive but not send. This is basically what racefan said, but I'm repeating it because clearly a step is being missed somewhere.

I found out what was wrong. Did it on my own.
