Hopefully you are receiving fine.

Have you check the outgoing webmail smtp settings? Webmail usually
sets these up for you.

The smtp accounts are at the bottom of the account settings page.

Select the Webmail - Localhost (Default)

Settings:
Description = Webmail
Server Name = Localhost
Port = 25

Security and Authentication:
Check use user name and password
Enter your complete hotmail address including the domain name.
Example: your...@hotmail.com

Under use secure connection:
Check "no"

Under account settings select the account name and make sure your
using the Webmail Smtp as your outgoing server. This is usually
labeled "Webmail - Localhost (Default)"

These settings are for Hotmail; others accounts will have different
settings of course.

If you have several different webmail accounts you would need to
create seperate Webmail smtp's for each so you can use which ever
account's smtp that you need; Otherwise, you will be sending all you
email through one account only.

Hope this will help.

It looks like you got the smtp setup correctly but may not have Pop
side setup properly.

Under account settings, look in your account there is two places that
the your email address needs to enter. First is under the main account
page and other is under the server settings. Check and see if you have
them enter in those places. These should be the same as the smtp email
address.

The image you posted shows the server name as "Localhosst". Mosr of
the page is shown in English so, unless "Locahosst" is a language
difference for your system, please be sure that is should not be
"localhost" as recommended.

Tnx Alan, the image was blurred here. Most likely a problem on my end.
