Traveling with Vista Laptop and accessing home email

I use Out Look Express for email.
My email comes through a local phone company hamiltoncom.net.
Home is where I live, it is my normal email account through the provider.
When I try to answer, it stays in my outbox until I get back home. then it will send it. I have to delete the ones in the out box before it will let me down load newer emails.
Last month we traveled to Florida, I was in charge of a program with 42 speakers back in Illinois. I got emails from them. but could not send an answer back. I have created a yahoo account and can send from it.
It might be the "one horse system" hamiltoncom.net. suspect it might be.
When I got back to Springfield, Il Hotel, I could send and receive.

Outlook Express is not a part of, or available for, Windows Vista. It was replaced by Windows Mail, which has subsequently been terminated as well. Thus, there is still something amiss with the details.

As to the problem sending email, it is likely one of three possibilities:
1.) The port used to send mail through your e-mail client is blocked by the internet provider when you're traveling. Highly unusual and unlikely.
2.) hamiltoncom.net does not permit outgoing email when the sender's IP address is not one of theirs to filter out forging spammers. Also unusual but more likely.
3.) Your email client is simply not acknowledging the internet connection as it should. Strange, but possible.

Verify your operating system and email client, and check with hamiltoncom.net to see if they have such a filter in place.

You are correct. It is Windows Mail for the Vista.
When I am at home, I an receive and send email from the lap top. But it is when we trvel I have problems. I will cal hamiltoncom.nt and check with them. i thought it was something the operator was doing. Thank you so much for your help.

I have not been able to access my email from anywhere but home since purchasing a Dell XPS M1330 with vista either with incredimail or windows mail. It works great on my old Averatec w/XP with same settings. Any suggestions?
Thanks

2. This is exactly what should happen with MOST email providers.

The reasons have been given so let's move to SOLUTIONS. Ready?

Use GMAIL as your email provider or another email provider that allows this.
