Windows Can't SEND emails - Server 2008

Hi All,
We have a server running Win Server 2008 Standard. On every other computer in the office, we use outlook 2007 and our smtp settings work fine. On the server we receive our POP messages fine, but the smtp settings don't work.

I know that smtp has to be enabled on a server, but I have no idea what settings to use. Does that even have anything to do with the mail side of things?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
Betty

 

Is it running Exchange or are you trying to use something else to handle email?

 

Nope, just trying to run outlook on the server and be able to send/receive emails as if it were any other computer.

 

If it's just Outlook, you should be able to use your mail host's SMTP settings and setup the outgoing mail server. check this link for how to: https://www.namecheap.com/support/k...count-setup-in-microsoft-outlook-smtpimappop3

Full Exchange would be better if others are trying to access the mail from the serve though

 

I presume you have double checked all the settings including any port changes that may be necessary in outlook account settings.

also check windows firewall settings
