Hi,
Thans in advance to all who anser!
My current problem is that I am in Spain, and cannot send email through my usual outlook express6. I can receive but cannot sent. I usually use by BB connetion at home without a problem, but here in Spain I am using a Vodafone PAYG pocket rocket dongle.
As I am a bit of a techie thickie can anyone suggest how I can recify this problem.

Thas once again.

    you are (probably) trying to send via your ISPs pop 3 mail, it is very unlikely that they would let you do that via another ISP (voda), though they would/should let you receive. If your ISP has a webmail portal you may use that, else create a free gmail/hotmail account and use that for sending

    Thanks Tony,
    i had already created a gmail account and have used that. I was just abffled as to why I could not send when I could receive.
    Thanks for the explanation, it makes the reason clear now.
