This problem has developed in WLM over the last few days. Any new emails I send do not arrive. They are recorded in the 'send' folder, but not received.
If I use 'reply', or 'forward', the message is received.
My ISP is TalkTalk, and messages sent directly from their website do arrive, but that is very inconvenient.
I have changed the SMTP port to both 587 and 465 without effect. The default is 25.
If you can reply and forward that indicates that your outgoing smtp server settings are OK.
FYI, switching to port 587 typically requires that you also turn on authentication, and 465 typically requires that you turn on SSL in addition to authentication.
No - that's what I've been using to test if it's working, having realised my emails weren't getting through. Having said that, occasionally, one or two do, so it seems to be a sporadic problem. However, having said that, for the last two days it's been constant.
Thank you. So are you saying it's a TalkTalk issue? Because if I send from the TalkTalk webpage, my messages get through. It's only when I send using WLM that I have this problem.
If your outgoing server setting in WLM is a talk talk server name it's still a Talk Talk issue to troubleshoot.
It's not unusual that email send from their webmail would be sending out different servers & ip addresses than email sent through their smtp relays, the outgoing mail servers for mail programs on computers vs. their webmail.
Spent ages on the phone with Talk Talk, trying various changes to the server properties on my account, but without resolving the issue. Was then told I'll need to contact Microsoft. May be easier to reinstall WLM?
I changed my smtp port to 587 and i still get an error. Cant figure out how to change SSL to 465. i don't know if that is the problem. this is the error I get:
The message could not be sent. The setting for your outgoing email [SMTP] server might need to be configured. To find the server settings for 'sg2966@cox.net', please contact your email service provider.
