Help, Can receive email, but can't send them

All of a sudden yesterday I was not able to send any emails. I can receive them but can't send any out. I receive an error message. I have optimum. Anyone else having problems and does anyone know how to solve this. TIA

your mailbox maybe full. Try and empty your trash/deleted folder and if that still doesnt give enough room, start to delete your sent box

Re: Help, Can receive email, but can't send them

Re: Help, Can receive email, but can't send them

Are you working from a laptop and moved it to a new location? If thats the case you have to check your outgoing mail servers and make sure they are correct.

I used to travel with my laptop from work to home and when I got home I had to change the outgoing mail server to smtp.optonline.net.

If it keeps asking you for your password, then I know there is something that has to be checked off in your settings about security but I forgot what it was.

HTH!!!

That is not necessarily the case.

You should just call Cablevision, they might be having an issue with their servers.

Sounds to me like a glitch with Outlook. Have you tried exiting outlook (Do File - Exit - do NOT click on the X - that sometimes causes weird things to happen for me) and restarting your computer?

it didn't resolve itself - I had to check the incoming and outgoing mail servers, as someone mentioned above.
