I have a stupid question. I have Outlook on my PC (Windows 2003). I have an email account that I set up just fine - it's been working for months. I tried to set up an email account for a coworker using the very same isp information etc... on his computer (it's older, WindowsXP) and it will NOT work. When I go through all the testing it tells me that it cannot log on to the incoming mail server. I thought - I'll set up an account for him on my computer, maybe that is the problem. Go through the same stuff - no dice. No matter what I do, using the same information that everyone else in this entire office used, I am told that the incoming mail server rejected the login. Could this mean that the ISP does not have an address set up for him on their end?? I was able to send a test message to myself from his email when I had a profile for him on my computer. Any emails I tried to send to outside people were rejected. I am so at a loss with this sort of thing and sadly I am the most tech savvy in my office. I could not do this for a living! Anyway, sorry for the dumb question...
Thanks in advance
