EMAIL PROTOCOLS

[mcdui]

1. On my laptop I have Windows 7 with Windows Live Mail. I am connected to the internet with CellC.
I get all my incoming emails, but I cannot send emails. I have tried all sorts of SMTP's but I cannot get any protocal to work

2. On my desktop PC I have Windows XP. I have now left iBurst and gone to 8ta. Leaving iBurst I have changed my email address to Webmail.co.za.
Going into the Webmail site, I can send and receive emails (I did not have to set it up).
I have got webmail to also send its emails to Outlook Express (much easier to use and I can connect Photoshop to it, to email photos directly from Photoshop).
But again I cannot send any emails from Outlook Express. Again I have tried all kinds of sender protocols, but nothing works.

Can someone please help me in very simple English STEP by STEP how to set these protocols up.

Thanks

1&2 the same answer.
A. Use SMTP server appropriate to your Internet service provider. For Cell C will be different and for 8ta different. Read forum FAQ specific to your ISP. Or
B. Most of mail POP/IMAP servers give you an option to send mail using their SMTP server (not your ISP server) and they give address of their SMTP server. Now you need to enter this SMTP server in your mailing program, select option "my outgoing mail server requires autherntication" and option "Use the same login and password as for incoming mail".
