Can't send messages from OE in Windows XP Pro

[WhiteTornado]

Hi,

Well, something I thought would be nothing to handle turns out to be really tricky!

I have This comp in a peer to peer network - it is used as a server for a medical app. This issue is new by the way, the OE worked ok before - now, impossible to send messages from it. Other comps in the nw are ok, can send and receive. I can receive messages from outside sources, like my Fastmail web address. Also, when I use an other comp in the nw to send something, then it shows up on that trouble machine. I have updated NAV and ran a scan. I have installed all the updates for Windows. I deleted the accounts and re-created them.

Bloddy thing won't send messages, it does go through the motions, when I click on send/receive and it does it really fast, as if there is nothing there to send, in the outward mail box there is nothing, in the sent box I can see the messages I sent!!! Arrrrr!!!!

Anyways... been at it for a few hours now ... BTW ... even if it is a stupid error or omission of my part I am ready to hear it!!


Cheers!

1. Be certain there are no Verisign issues: thread608-746263

2. Be absolutely clean about the computer time/date and regional settings.

3. This troubleshooter usually will resolve any other issue:

Hi and thank you.

I have gone through the steps to update the verisign.

I have gone through the whole list, I tried to install the following patches: 813951 and 810847, both of them are asking to install the IE 6.0 SP1!! But I installed it twice. Now, I cannot see it installed in the add/remove pgm window. I tried both times, no error messages though on installing, it does go as if it installs.

The Windows update does not show any missing or needed updates.

I have verified the time and timezone and they are ok.

I Then uninstalled IE and Outlook Express using add/remove pgms. I rebooted and reinstalled them - stil the same issue.

Not long ago I did a sfc /scannow handling. I will now attempt to do a repair install from the CD.

Cheers!
