I was reading the other day a blog entry from the developer of Xplorer2 and i remebered that i suffered the same problem when i was traveling some time ago.

The problem is that some times, one can’t send email when outside the region of our own ISP. I don’t remember where i was but i could’t send any email. I returned home frustated after that and i forget the problem until recently when it happened to me again.

The solution is to change the port for the Outgoing email server. The default in all email clients such as Outlook, Thunderbird and Eudora is 25. Chage it to port 587 and give it a try. I was able to send email this way without any problems using Outlook 2007.
