have you filled out the field for your smtp server? Is the entry correct? Can you ping the smtp-server?

Have you checked advanced settings for outgoing messages? Maybe you will have to use a different port (depends on your provider)?

Windows? Open a command line via typing cmd.exe into the field which comes up when you klick on start - execute (I am not sure if this is the right label because I have a german windows version) or you might find CMT in your Accessoires Forder in the programme menue.

Then type

ping servername.domain.com (as an example) and hit enter :-)

john2485,

What email provider are you using?
You need to get their correct settings and then in advanced settings you need to input this. I had same problem with gmail until I went to gmail options and followed their instructions. Remember to restart your n800 afterwards. Give it sometime to load.
lol, Dan
