Are you sure that is not somehow screwing things up for you -- although I have no idea why?
With the exception of my ISP account, which I never send email from, all other accounts go through a hosting companies SMTP server using port 587. Something has gotten screwed up in Outlook 2003. I think I'm going to delete all accounts and recreate. If that doesn't work I will reinstall Outlook 2003.
I really would like to use Thunderbird, but not being able to sync contacts and calendar with my Nokia is a killer.
