Why won't my computer allow me to email people anymore?

I can receive emails. For some reason as of the last two weeks I haven't been able to send anything!

Why won't my computer allow me to email people anymore?
check your account settings, assuming you are using outlook, go to tools, accounts and in there you will find your account name. check to make sure you have a defined mail server in your outgoing server box





eg





mail.hotmail.com or similar





failing this, call your ISP support number who can walk you thru your settings
Reply:if can send email through any web-based email service (like mail.yahoo.com) then most probably the problem is either with your smtp settings or with firewall blocking your traffic to smtp server





contacting tech support of your isp is not a bad idea
Reply:Are you talking about Microsoft Outlook Express?





Coz if you are then you need to remove one of the updates that may have been downloaded. There was a problem with one of the new updates which cases issues with Outlook.





The update number is KB911567





Here is an article about it:
