Hi, I was still having the same problem, and after numerous emails back and forth with Hotmail, no joy. My wife's Hotmail was working fine though, and since she has a separate Windows user account, I set up a new one and scrubbed the old. Since then I haven't had a single problem. I think that a setting within my user account became skewed somehow, but still have no idea what, and neither does Hotmail. Simplest way to solve the problem until we can all have Gmail. Hope this helps. Jake

seemed to have fixed the problem with hotmail not sending emails, so switched to "full version" from "classic version" (why dont they just give us ONE version that works!!)

see options top right.

anyway seems to be working now. bback if not.

I, too, am unable to send out messages using my hotmail account. I have tried all the suggestions people have made (short of opening an entirely new account), and it still will not work. Any suggestions?
Another issue I am having is that I can view the list of messages in my inbox, but if I try to click on several to delete them, nothing happens. So I have to open the message to be able to delete it.
Also, I have tried to switch to the "full version" of hotmail, but it says I am already using the full version...yet when I log in, it tells me that I am temporarily on the classic version due to an error encountered during login.
I had this problem before and actually resorted to resetting my computer to factory settings...it helped for a while, but now the problem is back. Help!

The thing is sometimes due to a less harmful virus the smtp settings are modified ... so what i recommend is format your computer because even i dont know how to bring those settings back to normal or default...

What Browser?

I have the same problem.....I cannot send any e/mails I can recv, but not send........please help
