Outlook Express will receive email, but won't send outsgoing emails. Pls help.

[HFI]

There are 3 of us in this office - 2 in CA and I'm in OR. We all have the same mail server, but for some reason, since Friday, the 2 computers in CA can receive emails, but they are unable to send outgoing emails. My computer is sending and receiving fine, so I don't think it's a mail server problem.

When they compose/reply to emails and send, they automatically go into the Outbox and accumulates there. There are no error messages or error numbers. They just get relocated into Outbox.

I've had them check to SMTP and it is correct. Otherwise, I don't know the probelm. Pls help since we are trying to run a business.

Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express?

Do you use AVG?

Are the messages in the outbox shown in bold and italic? If not, something is marking the messages read - a recent update to AVG causes this, as do many older programs. Seehttp://www.slipstick.com/problems/outbox.htm for more information.
