My Outlook Express will not send mail. The server for sending and
receiveing is mail.optonline.net, but it doesn't work. I get a msg
about the server or the network. I tells me that it has gone off
line.

Please help!

If you are traveling you have to do things differently
http://traveler.optonline.net/email.htm "If you use an e-mail program
such as Outlook or Outlook Express, you will encounter the following
problems when traveling."

Use traveler.optonline.net for outgoing or webmail.

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible
causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long
period of inactivity. Account: 'Mail Server', Server:
'mail.optonline.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,
Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

In that case, first check system status here

http://www.optonline.net/Registratio...ServiceStatus2

Then go to the OE configuration tool

http://www.optonline.net/Cservice/Ar...icle%3D2366081

Which I think is a stupid way to get OE configured, by allowing a
provider's tool to modify your registry, instead of just providing you
with the information necessary to setup an account properly. If you
don't like that, you will have to talk to them on the 'phone.

Bad support configuration there. Screenshots would be much wiser.

You can test your Internet mail connection with Telnet.

telnet mail.optonline.net 25

It should comeback with 220 message.

telnet mail.optonline.net 110

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;187785

You can enter QUIT to exit Telnet

Have you contacted your ISP about the situation?

Maybe you're having some kind of authentication issue.
