Outlook 2003 won't send in Vista

[Jeffrey]

I am running Vista and therefore copied all my email account settings from Outlook 2003 that was running on Windows XP to the same version of the new operating system. I can receive the email as well as the test message from the account wizard but am not able to send email from outlook and when I try to do it then it gives me a message that "The specified server was found, but there was no response from the server. Please verify that the port and SSL Information is correct." The mail provider that I am using do not give port settings on their website and the account that I had been using is setup with dial-up. Any ideas?

Are you getting some kind of similar error message in Outlook to what Outlook Express or Windows Mail are providing? Can you post it here? Also check in the Outlook Tools >> Options >> Mail Setup >> Send Receive and then go to Highlight your account >> Edit >> Account Properties >> Outgoing Server and check if the outgoing mail server is set properly there or not. Now you have to go to the Advanced Tab at the same page and then see if you can see a checkmark on both SSL.
