Vista - Outlook 2003 won't send in Vista

Copied my email ccount settnigs from Outlook 2003 running on XP to same
version installed on Vista.

I have had email, including the test message from the account wizard, but I
cannot send email from Outlook itself. Message is

"The specified server was found, but there was no response from the
server.Please verify that the port and SSL Information is correct. etc etc

Mail provider is Freeserve aka Orange, they don't provide the port settings
on their website and I had the account setup for use with dial-up so the
finger points at that.....

Does Outlook provide a detailed error message similar to what OE/WinMail
provides? If so, we would need to see that.

Varies, the wizard just gives this general SMTP failure, now Outlook seems to
be giving error 0x8004210B - timeout now I've got two messages in the outbox

Progress window never seems to show anything actually being sent. Have
disabled the outgoing email scan in McAfee as suggested by Orange but cluless
as to what to do next.

increasingly frustrated buying a new Dell with Vista has not been a pain
less experience by any means.

Hi Mark

Can you check in OL Tools\Options\Mail Setup\Send Receive and then Highlight your account \Edit\Account Properties\Outgoing Server and see of the Outgoing Mail Server is set correctly there.
After go to the Advanced Tab at same page and see if you have a checkmark on both SSL

Yep. doesn't matter how I get into the account settings, they're still the
same. Might try the mail client from Mozilla instead, seems a bit more
reliable than Microsoft products and I have no need to stay in the Office
stable if it's going to cause me hours of grief.

Really irritated now, this is not how I expected to be spending my evenings
with a new PC, thank you Bill G !!

no SSL or authentication required.

Found a thread on the Mcafee website which suggested a problem with
securitycenter7 and Outlook, spent hours with tech support and they said
after stopping the service it can't be Mcafee.

So, it works on XP without McAfee so the finger points at

Mcafee - been there
Vista - well......

Remove McAfee completely from your computer as per the uninstall and test. Then post back

Believe me I'd love to, but it came preinstalled by Dell, if I uninstall it
is it hidden away somewhere on the hard disk to reinstall ??

Dell question but thye told me to bugger off when I asked them for help.

Magic Roundabout anyone ???

Take the word of experienced techs, you do not ever want to
reinstall McAfee!
If you need a different antivirus program, try free AVG:
http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Vir...-10320142.html
When the install begins, be sure to uncheck the email scanner module.
