I have read that other people have had this problem but no solutions seem to have been posted ... the problem is ive recently signed up with TalkTalk ... I can receive emails from my TalkTalk email address in Outlook Express but i cannot send emails from my TalkTalk email address ... does anyone who had this problem or anyone know how to fix it?? I would be very grateful for your help!!

Many thanks x

I haven't had any probs since using thunderbird instead of express - no idea why

I used to have to manually set the (correct) default settings before I got my mail - really annoying

Chances are it's the smtp setting - I've seen in some documentation that this should be set to mail.talktalk.net, but this doesn't work, it needs to be smtp.talktalk.net

I applied for free broadband via the internet and was informed that free broadband is not available from my telephone exchange but I could have broadband for an extra £10 per month. Anyone else had this response and if so, why?

Interesting. I'd like to know the answer to that one too.
