pueo38 Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 A friend can't send messages in OE. They go as far as the 'Outbox'.She get's the following 'Error Message:'Error Message:Your SMTP server has not responded in 180 seconds. Would you like to wait another 180 seconds for the server to respond?Account: pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com(1)Server: smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.comShe says OE has never worked and sbcglobal techies couldn't fix it so she's been using yahoo mail. I suspect the setup is probably not right but I don't know enough to be sure. Anyone have a fix?Thank you!She runs:XPHomeP4 2.0HDD 40GRAM 256DSL sbcglobal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
