As the title says, I have recently upgraded to Office 2003 from Office Xp. Now when I open my email client (outlook 2003) I can receive email with no problems however, I cannot send email at all. I have tried Outlook Express and I am able to send and receive with no problems.
The error message is:
Task 'pop2.sympatico.ca - 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).'
I have looked on the web for the error and have all hotfixes / patches installed. I have also uninstalled the application and reinstalled, I have also formatted the HD and re-installed and still same problem. I spoke with my ISP and they say all is okay on their end, especially since I am able to send with Outlook Express.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be the problem?
I am running XP Pro with SP2. I have modified the firewall to allow outlook.exe to access the internet.
I have posted on the microsoft community neswgroup but have had only 1 response so far.
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA
Sean
