| | Re: Can't send e-mail Thank you, we have already checked those settings w/ Comcast. We also have a msg in outbox that we can't delete. I'm wondering if that could be a problem?

| | Re: Can't send e-mail Dave, I and several other people have had the same problem. Go to www.oehelp.com/wmutil and download Steve Cochran's utility. Then use the utility (after unzipping) to compact your e-mail and the problem will go away. It worked for me. Good luck.
