My father has full access to the Internet through Wifi all the time, but Microsoft Outlook email only works when plugged into my router via an ethernet cable – not through Wifi. Everything else works flawless on Wifi. It’s a Dell laptop running Windows XP Home. Any ideas?
- How to Configure Outlook Express for WiFi

Look in your email account settings for outgoing SMTP server settings.many ISPs have outgoing mail filters in place so that viruses can't send out spam from multiple computers- What do I do if outbound port 25 TCP is blocked?

- Hello, what happens when you try using outlook with wireless? Does it give you any error? Does outlook open at all?
- It opens and tries to connect but fails. He can see and click emails, but cannot check for incoming or send any out. Thanks, I'll look this weekend.
I've had this problem before, but this time I am truly dumbfounded. My Outlook 2011 has randomly stopped sending emails, but I can still receive them. This has happened a few times and I normally change the ports/SSL and I can get it to work. But now I am at a loss. I have several email accounts that I manage. One of which is GMAIL, using IMAP, and this is the only account that currently works find receiving and sending. My POP accounts, four of them, all cannot send emails. They can only receive. One of them is with GoDaddy, and the other three are with an Asian company. I can't find any help on this. I've upgraded Office to the latest version. I've even deleted the accounts and added them back in, and I still can't send email. I'm frankly getting exhausted and sick of this type of problem happening. I honestly use this program and my MacBook Air to send clients information...only to find out hours later that a mail never sent because it's been stuck in my <hidden> Outbox in Outlook 2011. This has hurt me now badly on several occassions. Please HELP!
