Hi, Its somewhere in the mail account settings under the SMTP authentication settings - its definitely an option, or you could just use SMTP auth instead. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of James O'Dell Sent: 01 February 2005 16:43 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Pop before SMTP Hi All Does anyone know how to make Outlook Express do a Pop authentication before attempting to send e-mail? If I connect to my mail server with messages in my outbox it tries to send them before receiving the messages that are there and so I get an error - or at least I think this is what is causing the problem!
