Is the POP server down
In fact it's the SMTP server that deals with sending emails, the POP3 server only deals with incoming emails.
Having said that, VM's POP3 and SMTP servers are both working for me in the email clients that I use.
However, a lot of people are posting on the forum with problems sending VM emails using an email client or app such as Outllook. The two main causes are:
In both cases you should still be able to send uisng VM's webmail service on the VM website.
Outlook's often reports a generic error message “Outlook cannot connect to server” which can be due to a number of things including account password issues as well as 1 and 2 above. It does not necessarily mean the server is down.
Just to clarify what's happening in your case it would be useful to know the full error message that Outlook is reporting - but remove your email address from the message when you post it.
