On the Outlook version that you use, in account settings, is there an option to test email account settings?<br />
<br />
In Outlook 2003 it was something like: <br />
Tools &gt;&nbsp;Email Accounts &gt;&nbsp;View/Change email accounts &gt;&nbsp;click next - select change &gt;&nbsp;Test account settings<br />
<br />
Note that you will need to select the applicable email account if you have multiple accounts.<br />
<br />
What happens when you do this test please?

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.

Email Clients

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
