It keeps trying to send a non-existent message

[jacstar75]

hi gang

i am currently staying at someone else's house, and using their newly
installed wireless. i tried to send a message from my Outlook 2003 before,
and it just wouldn't go through - just stayed in the outbox. receiving
messages was and still is fine. so i deleted the message from my outbox, and
now it keeps trying to send a message that just isn't there - my outbox is
empty, but it holds everything up and won't send anything else because it's
trying to send "message 1 of 1" when it doesn't exist anymore! my email -
she is broken!! does anyone have any hints please? i am having to use
webmail to send messages at the mo... thanks a bunch!

YOu will need to configure your outgoing mail server to authenticate to the server used by the people with whom you are staying. Ask them for the credentials or go to the web page for their ISP to see what the server names are.

thank you - it turned out that it was an authentification problem. i have an
optusnet email address, and they have a bigpond server. so i changed
outgoing server details to the bigpond details and it fixed it right up.
thanks for the perfect reply!
