I cannot send email because it is placed in outlook stating the server does not permit relaying
There's a lot you don't say in your message, but if your email is with a web-based email provider, like gmail, yahoo, aol, etc. You must use that account through a web browser and not with Outlook.

I most often see this when someone clicks on an email link on a contact-us web page that is connecting directly to an email address. The computer launches Outlook, but has no Outlook account.

Here's what to do, if that is what you are running into:
  1. right-click on the link in the web-page and choose copy email address.
  2. Next, bring up your web-mail account in a web browser and compose a new message.
  3. In the TO box, right click and choose Paste to paste in the copied email address.
  4. Proceed the same as you normally do to send an email message to that address.

Help! I can't respond via email on Craig's List
Imagine your shopping on Craig's List and find this GREAT item you really want to buy. You open the ad, decided the price is fantastic and want to contact the seller. There is no phone number listed, so your only choice is to email the address at the top of the ad. You click on it, because it looks like a link and this strange program called "Outlook" opens.

You continue with your email and hit the good old "send" button and instead of a confirmation you end up with an error.

Has this ever happened to you?

Craig's List uses Microsoft Outlook as a default for handling email on their webpage. What is Outlook? Microsoft Outlook is an email handling software that allows you to handle everything in one place. This means that you can have your AOL, Yahoo and Gmail all go to the same place in one big in box.

When Outlook is configured correctly, emailing Craig's List ads is a snap! You click on the blue email link inside the listing and it automatically opens your Outlook mail server.

For those of you who do not wish to install, configure and use Outlook - you can still use your regular email to answer ads on Craig's list. It just takes a little more work.

If you would like to email ads on Craig's List without using Microsoft Outlook, follow the instructions below:

Open Craig's List on the internet and minimize the screen

Open another window on the internet and sign into your email account

Go back to the Craig's List window and find an ad your interested in emailing

Highlight the email address at the top of the ad by clicking the button on your mouse and dragging across until all of the address is covered

With the address highlighted, right click on your mouse and choose "copy"

Minimize the window and pick up your email account which is open at the bottom of your screen.

Proceed to composing an email like you normally would.

In the address window, right click again with your mouse and choose paste

This pastes the address from the seller on Craig's List into your email program.

Write your email and send just like normal.

You can use this copy and paste method with any email provider on the internet. Good luck and happy shopping!

You can combine multiple Gmail accounts into a single, primary Gmail account by using the POP3 Mail Fetcher application built into Gmail.
The Mail Fetcher enables you to retrieve email from POP3 email accounts, including Gmail, and send mail as if from a different email address all from within your primary Gmail account. Configure your primary account to manage your other Gmail accounts with the Mail Fetcher.

Sign in to the Gmail account that you want to use to manage your Gmail accounts.
Click the "Settings" icon, represented by a gear cog, in the top left and click "Mail Settings."

Click the "Accounts and Import" tab.
Click the "Add POP3 Email Account" button.
Enter the email address of your secondary email account and then click "Next Step."
Enter the password of your secondary email account and then click "Add Account."
Click the radio button beside "Yes, I want to be able to send email as
[SECONDARY EMAIL ADDRESS]" and then click "Next Step."
Enter the display name for your secondary email address and then click "Next Step."
Click "Send Verification" and then check your secondary email account.
Click the link contained in the verification email to confirm the integration of that account with your primary Gmail account.
All mail sent to your secondary Gmail is now delivered to your primary account, and when responding your secondary Gmail address is displayed in the From section of the email.

Cannot enter my gmail
You can use Gmail's secure connection settings if you need to send sensitive information via email.
This provides some measure of protection against hackers and hijackers who may try to intercept your data as it travels from your browser to the Internet.
To send a secure email on Gmail, modify your account's settings so that you're using Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure HTTPS rather than unsecured HTTP.

Sign in to your Gmail account.
Click the "Gear" icon in the upper right corner of the screen. Choose "Mail Settings" from the drop-down menu.

Click "Always Use HTTPS."
Find this option in the "Browser connection" section of the General tab.
Click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page.
Log out of and then back in to your Gmail account.
The URL in the address bar of your browser should read "HTTPS:" rather than "HTTP."
Click "Compose Mail" and type your email message.
When finished, click "Send" to send a secure email on Gmail.

Every time i access my yahoo mail the firefox.exe will pop up and there are 3 boxes that you need to click.....debug...sending error report....and ..don't send.what can i do.please help me.
In Firefox 3, by default, when user click on an email address or a URL link location that starts with mailto: protocol, the default email client, such as Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express or Windows Mail will be opened to allow user to compose and send email to the specific recipient?s mail address. If you prefer to use web based Yahoo! Mail as your default email client, and want to let Yahoo! Mail handles all mailto: protocol, so that the automatic e-mail message composing and email sending will be done via Yahoo! webmail interface, Firefox 3 provides a very easy way to associate the mailto: link with Yahoo! mail web-based interface, in fact, it?s a built-in integration. Go to Tools -> Options. Click on Applications tab icon. Locate and click to highlight mailto Content Type, and at the corresponding drop down box of Action, select Use Yahoo! Mail. Click OK. After change, whenever a mailto: link is clicked, the email address will be sent to Yahoo! Mail account Compose web interface, with recipient automatically set at the clicked e-mail address. Of course, user has to enter user name and password credentials first if he or she hasn?t already logged in. Note: It?s also possible to set Gmail as the default mailto: handler at Firefox 3 best of luck Mel

I cant send and reply or forward any massage from my yahoo account
The question is how do you access your e-mail? There are two ways of accessing the e-mail. First is via the Web browser where you need to open your Internet browser and then type your user name and password.

The other one is via an e-mail client like Outlook 2003, 2007 or Outlook Express.

If you're accessing your e-mail via the Web browser, try optimizing the internet browser by deleting the Cookies and Temporary Internet Files.

Here's how to delete the Cookies and Temporary Internet Files for IE7 and later versions:

1. Run your IE > Tools menu.
2. Internet Options > click on 'Delete' under the Browsing History option.
3. Click the Delete buttons for Cookies, Internet Files
4. OK > Close and re-open your IE and try accessing your e-mail again.

But if you're accessing your e-mail via an e-mail client (Outlook 2007), all you have to do is to change the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) port number and you should be able to send e-mails out.

Here's how:

1. Run your Outlook > Tools > Account Settings.
2. Double-click on your e-mail account.
3. Click on More Settings button > Advanced tab
4. Change the Outgoing Mail SMTP port number. If your Outgoing port is set to 25, you may change it to 2525 or 587 or 465 (SSL)
5. OK > Close and re-open your Outlook.
6. Try sending e-mail.

Good luck and have a great day!
