Hey,
I was working on sending my emails today, and all of a sudden, they didnt actually send. They all appeared in the outbox, and it eventually came up with an error message:

Task 'Connor Shinn - Sending' reported error (0x80042109) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

I looked at Comcast's website, but they were completely unhelpful. They dont offer support for Outlook 2003, and any live chat/emails that I try, they just tell me to go away. Does anyone know whats wrong?


Thanks,
Connor707

Hya Conner.

If you didn't change any settings or anything then i would asume it is a prob on youre isp's end. I would wait abit to see if it doesn't resolve itself.

Ok, I was kinda thinking that. I know that this happened once before, and despite my best efforts, it ended up just resolving itself. Although, last time I talked to a chat representative, and he seemed clueless to the fact that there was a problem. But, Ill just wait and see, Thanks Joe!

Yeah.. they always say that..every ISP's service desk will keep saying everything is all right even when clearly there entire network is down... lol.

They are instructed to say that i think. (or they are really that stupid , lol)

Most call centers work on a script.

Have you installed a Firewall recently? If so, have you let Outlook access the internet.

Is this problem only with sending emails, can you recieve emails succesfully?
