smtp problem with Charter.net
I setup OE for charter email.
pop.charter.net smtp.charter.net Email worked fine for two days, then I had the following symptom. I could not send email, I found that I had an email trapped in the outbox that would not send. I deleted the email in the outbox, and I received email as normal. Webmail works fine. Charter doesn't support OE. They won't help. I found the following pdf that has, "directions to setup an SMTP authentication in your emal program" It uses mail.cs-1.com for incoming mail and smtp.charter.net for outgoing mail. Then you must check the box for "My server requires Authentication" Also you must check another box in the outgoing mail server window. "use same settings as my incoming mail server" I would like some input about the information before I try it. Thanks, Mike |

By all means, try it. Just keep track of what you do so you can undo it if
need be. Did you get an error message? Whenever you do, post it here in its entirety. This is a few years old, but if they haven't changed anything it'll be good.

Although after this review I did check the box to eliminate my preview pane. After 14 years on email I just learned how to eliminate that feature! I want a little info about who cs-1 is and why are they doing what they do, before I put them in as my email client. Just a little caution. Thanks, Mike "Mike" wrote in message ...

Mike I have no idea who cs-1 is. But the page mentions Outlook 2000 and Microsoft Outlook Express 6 so I would have to guess it is even older than the link I had. Is it working now? I have a new link: http://www.charter.com/customers/Sup...ArticleID=1661 If that doesn't help, I would give Charter support a call. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA |

When you change your From Name in the middle of a thread, some people may ignore the post as it appears that someone else is hijacking your thread). -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA |
