   SMTP setting in email client (not Outloo   
   01 Apr 06 21:46:36   
   
   From: tWilson148@comcast.net   
      
   OS is Win XP; this is not the OS I am familiar with (2000), but it is on one   
   of my staff's computers at home; she is not particularly computer-literate,   
   and I don't know much about security, and virtually nothing about XP.   
      
   The email client is Goldmine; it uses settings, I guess, like Outlook: POP3   
   settings & SMTP settings, etc. In one case, one "email setup" uses requires   
   authentication; the other doesn't. I use the standard settings, including   
   the settings on authentication, where required, and the message we get in   
   both cases, is "timed out waiting for response from server."   
      
   I don't know much, but I think this has to do with "getting out" from XP;   
   sending an email from any internet-based place (e.g., x@comcast.net, sent   
   out from the Comcast site) is fine.   
      
   Help! Thanks.
