    Sorry if others posted already.

    Changed from vodafone to c2c broadband. Since the I cannot send outgoing emails from Microsoft Outlook. I can receive them alright.

    Anyone any ideas what settings I should change or how i might get back up and running again asap?

    Thanks.

    You need to change your outgoing SMTP email server to one provided by your new ISP.

    It's the mail server Outlook contacts to send your emails, it'll be somewhere in Outlook's settings for that email account. If you were previously on Vodafone, it'd probably be set to mail.vodafone.ie.

    I've tried googling c2c broadband to see if they have a website with a support section, but am not getting any decent hits. Do you have a website link for them at all?

    Will try phone again tomorrow and if resolved, for others post solution.

    If you don't have any luck, there are some free SMTP servers out there, but they limit you to sending a certain number of emails within a certain time period.

    SMTP2GO is one I've used in the past and their free account allows you to send up to 1,000 emails per month.

    I have heard that if you also have a Gmail account, you can use Google's SMTP servers but I've never tried it.
