Hi Paddywolf in the meantime while we wait,

solution to send/receive errors
Outlook's issue can be solved by making
separate profiles for every account  in Outlook.
If you have more than ONE email account
using the SAME incoming/outgoing mail server names Outlook will throw an error when you hit send and receive,
so the ONLY way to solve it is to make a separate profile for each account--in Windows XP Service Pack 2 Home you reach this area by going into the control panel and then hitting
"Mail" and the "Profiles" button.

Hope it helps you

It is Outlook 2007, and was installed on a brand new laptop I bought a few weeks ago. I simply copied my files across (or a friend did it - I am very illiterate on computers) and everything has gone smoothly. Word 07 took some getting used to, as did PowerPoint 07. Outlook 07 works perfectly with calendars etc, but as soon as I hit the send/receieve button it throws up the 'do not have appropraite permission' box.
I will try what you said - thanks .

Paddy

Is this Vista? or Xp Paddy
Thank you

Vista

Perhaps it's an add-on to Outlook causing this.

Try this,
Start->Run->Outlook /a
or even
Start->Run->Outlook /safe

If either of these work, you simply have an add-in that's not functioning properly...

HI sirbounty

Tried them both and nothing ran.

Paddy

Will try - nothing has helped so far. Losing the will to live.

Your comment here>I go to Windows Outlook 2007 << is this windows MAil or Outlook in Office 2007?
Is this is using Outlook in Office 2007 have tried using Outlook Express?
Is it setup to use emails? Maybe there is a connection?
As Outlook is not actually default email client in Vista, Office is an Add on.
Check Outlook Express.
Is office 2007 regestered to you?
Any error codes?

This maybe relevent from Microsoft: Hotfix available in URL
The "Request For Permission to Use a Key" dialog box appears whenever you try to send an e-mail message in Outlook 2007 after you configure Outlook 2007 to use a digital signature in Windows Vista
SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. " On a computer that is running Windows Vista, you configure Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to use a digital signature when you send e-mail.
" You import a digital ID into Outlook 2007.
In this scenario, the Request For Permission to Use a Key dialog box appears whenever you try to send an e-mail message. After you grant Outlook 2007 permission to use the digital ID, Outlook 2007 successfully sends the e-mail message.

Note When you try to send the e-mail message, you may also be prompted to enter the password of the digital ID. This situation depends on the security level that you specify for the digital ID.
RESOLUTION
After you apply the following hotfix, Windows Vista caches the digital ID that an application uses. Therefore, the Request For Permission to Use a Key dialog box still appears when you send the first e-mail message after you start Outlook 2007.

By default, Windows Vista can cache up to 20 digital IDs in an application. However, you can modify the registry to configure this number. For information about how to do this, see the "Registry information" section.

Paddy as this is new OS you do have warranty?
If all fails I would suggest you use your free warranty, it is so much simpler to have an expert sitting in front of a problem computer.

Hope this helps you Paddy.

Thank you for coming onboard sirbounty

Hi
It's Office 07, and I was told that Outlook would serve my purposes better than Outlook Express, which I always used to run. I'm seriously doubting that now.
I am the sole user and am set up as the administrator.
My warranty is on the hardware, not the software.
There are no error codes and it is set up to me.

THanks
Paddy

Presumably you're using a pop3 account?
Can you double check the credentials supplied there when you setup Outlook?

Tools/Options/Email Accounts (or Tools/Email Accounts).
Highlight your account and click Change (I believe - I'm out of town and don't have Outlook on this machine), then check the tab that has your logon information - perhaps reenter your email address and password.  Some providers accept 'just' your sign on 'name'. . . others mandate you use your entire email address: someone@somewhere.com.  You might try both and see what happens.

Good luck!

Hi everyone

I think we can close out this question. A mate of mine came and set up a whole new user account on my laptop and reloaded all my files and closed down the old user i.d. and it works. It turns out that the previous person had simply transferred all my Outlook files across to Outlook 07, moving them from an XP to Vista and they didn't translate well into Vista format, corrupting a whole lot of stuff. I am now up and running. Thanks for the great support guys.

Paddy

Hello Paddy glad to hear you have your emails back,
I believe we both assisted you knowing that transferring files may have had an association.
 but especially SirBounty as he suggested >>>Aside from that, hmm...  I'd suggest maybe creating a 'new' administrator account and seeing if any different results are encountered.

Setting up a new user account solved the problem. Nice work.
