cant send email on outlook try this

[miccon63]

If you can recieve email but cant send through outlook try setting smtp setting back to the old ones. ie "smtp.sky.com" in advance settings set portal number from 465 back to 25 and untick ssl
done this a little while ago and everythings going great.

I have added this into the main Tips and Solutions post. I should mention that I just tried it on my account and it did not work - but I think that is probably because my new sky one IS working!

Many thanks

maybe this will only work during the transition period i might have to set it back to new settings will keep you posted

I have just tried thsi and it doesn't work for me. I can receive i Outlook bt cannot send. When is Sky going to sort this out?

I had the same problem...

Outlook HAS to be running the latest SP - am sure its SP3... it will never work without this. I tried and my (slightly ahem dodgy version) would not accept the service pack.

I have downloaded Mozilla Thunderbird, and set this up according to the instructions, just to 'prove' where the fault was... Works fine, no problems - so keeping the T'bird!

Thank you miccon63, thank you so much.
I now have fully working email via outlook.

Sky really need to sort this out !
They must know the problem exists, do they send an email to tell us ???
No they make us trawl the web looking for solutions !

Sky are well aware of it, but only know which accounts it's affecting once they're told - if you've not rung up they might be sorting it out.....don't hold me to that tho!!
