Sorry should have elaborated. I was initially with Blueyonder and its a Blueyonder address that I use.

I use Thunderbird normally at least the emails do go after about five minutes but with Outlook Express it goes straight into the out box and never gets sent - it had worked the day before and had been fixed previously after a couple of visits from an engineer what seems like many moons ago.

I was told "Oh, it's your Firewall".. "No it's not", I said. So I lobbed in a hard drive that just had Windows installed and nothing else, no Firewall etc. -
Outlook Express was exactly the same and so was Firefox, I wonder how he felt?

Thunderbird and Outlook Express worked fine after he got on the phone to Knowsley I think it was - so why should it be a address problem, what had changed overnight and howcome it had been fixed?
