Default I can receive email but cannot send it.

Yesterday I tried to send emails and I got an error message. I could receive
but not send. I tried all the usual things several times: turned off the
computer, turned off my router and cable modem, checked all my connections,
started fresh. The problem persists. Is this a problem with Outlook?

I've go the SAME problem. My error number is 554, and ISP
says it is not them. Tried the same things, and also
deleted and re-added my accounts, and added updates.
Nothing worked (yet). Any ideas?

Make suer you''re properly authenticating to your outgoing server. Since
you didn't think it was important to state your Outlook version, no one can
tell you exactly how to do that.

Is an SMTP server address 3 numbers.3numbers.3numbers.2numbers? If so, both
my POP3 and STMP have always been the same.

No. It can be xx.x.x.xxx as well. Each octet can be in the range 0 to 255
(with some exceptions). It can also be a fully qualified domain name, like
smtp.somemachine.somedomain.com or .net. In fact, a FQDN is much much more
common than a specific IP address. The latter will always work. The
former, though, may not. Suppose, for example, your ISP's SMTP router is
named "smtp.bigdomain.net" and, up until now, the IP address for that
machine has been 62.1.16.4. Now suppose that your ISP wishes to use a
bigger, faster machine for mail routing. One thing they might do is to
modify their Domain Name Service (the service that maps FQDNs to IP
addresses) to make "smtp.bigdomain.net" point to the IP address of that
bigger, faster machine, say 62.1.16.10. If you're using a FQDN in your
account settings, your email keeps working. If you have the IP address of
the old machine in your account settings, your mail stops working and you'll
have no idea why.

Use Google to locate that error. Perhaps one of the articles it finds will
help. Here's the link:

Jeff, I'm having the same problem as the other posters. I'm running Outlook
2002 (10.6515.6714) SP3. BTW, it's an occasional problem [maddening].

get an error message when you try to send? If so, what is the text?

What is you exact problem? The various posters had different problems.
What sort of account(s) do you have? Do you get error messages?
