| | Re: Can Receive but not Send Email - Vista, Windows Mail I don't know why Thunderbird is able to send, but the normal reason for not being able to send when away from home is a port 25 block. As a general rule, the owner of the port 25 SMTP server must be the same as the one providing your Internet connection at that moment. For more on this see http://www.postcastserver.com/help/P..._Blocking.aspx The available workarounds when sending away from home are as follows: 1. Use webmail for sending (via your browser). 2. Ask your home ISP if they have a port other than '25' for SMTP. 3. If you use the same away-from-home connection frequently, substitute the SMTP server belonging to that connection. This is a bit tricky, but if you want to go that route, I can provide more details. 4. If you frequently send from multiple locations, get a free Gmail account, configure it for POP access, and use that for your sending chores. Gmail uses port 465 for SMTP, which is not blocked like port 25 is. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Sombrero" <Sombrero@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:8E21CD7A-7D9C-4372-A7B6-3742E89FDC3F@xxxxxx Quote: > The connection to the server has failed.

| | Re: Can Receive but not Send Email - Vista, Windows Mail Thanks Gary - I contacted the local ISP here in Thailand and they provided me with a local "Outgoing SMTP" address to use, which seems to work OK. I still don't understand why Thunderbird sends and receives email on the same laptop using the same 110/25 ports as Windows Mail?? Although my Thunderbird email is setup for use primarily with the GMS-USA Iridium satellite system, so is a much more complex installation, even though I'm currently using it on a LAN.

| | Re: Can Receive but not Send Email - Vista, Windows Mail You're very welcome. Thanks for reporting back. If your Thunderbird is using a different ISP, than it is understandable that it may behave differently in that respect. Not all ISPs block port 25. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Sombrero" <Sombrero@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:5F26FFF1-9231-4B31-8DE8-947E8454A513@xxxxxx Quote: > Thanks Gary - I contacted the local ISP here in Thailand and they provided me > with a local "Outgoing SMTP" address to use, which seems to work OK.
