    No wanadoo. Its been fine for ages and it has just decided it can't find the sever. It says check you SMTP is set to smtpwanadoo.co.uk. Its so long since I set it up I can't remember how to go and check. and I don't understand why it has just done it for no reason.

    If Outlook Express, do this Open OE, Tools Accounts, Mail Tab, Choose Account
    then properties then servers and check the settings...

    Its more than likely they have got server issues, Try later....
    or unless they dont allow you to send certain files, are you sending
    an attachment.?

    I had exactly the same this evening. I closed down the internet, logged off then back on and all was fine. I think its just a blip.

    I don't know why it happened, never done before but just kept telling me to change my pop3 and smtp setting, but they were fine. Ah well. All's well that ends well.
