still no outging so is there anything wrong here. Thank for the help
If 587 doesn't work, Orange are blocking it. Port 25 is blocked by VM. You could try 465 (with SSL ticked). There is a full port list here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...P_port_numbers

and you're interested in those with SMTP for POP3 shown.

Also, there is merit in trying a different SMTP address like SMTP.orange.co.uk and experimentin with the various port numbers. That's a long shot but it is reported elsewhere (I forget where, sorry).

I just tried something with my BTinternet account. I set the Outgoing Mail Server to smtp.ntlworld.com (maybe you'll substitute whatever your VM outgoing server is).

I unticked My outgoing server SMTP requires authentication (although I believe you could supply your VM credentials). SMTP port was 25.

And the test message sent OK.
