Outlook works fine after using Outlook Express once...????

[Andreas Athanasiades]

Here's an interesting problem :
I have set up Outlook and Outlook Express to the same settings for my
POP3 account.

When I try to send an email from Outlook I get the error :

553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)

Even if I try to "Read" before "Sending", which is a common remedy for
this problem, Outlook still wont work.. Emails are downloaded fine,
but still I cannot send an email.

However, if I use Outlook Express to send/receive an email first,
Outlook works fine afterwards....

Any ideas ? I thought that Outlook and O.Express use the same methods
for reading/sending emails.
It seems that OE somehow logs on differently into the server (when
downloading) and causes it to allow me to send emails afterwards,
while Outlook does not !

Thanks
Andreas

Are you using Windows ME ?

Have you also tried setting up authentication on the Outgoing Server tab for
that mail account?

In particular, check the "login to incoming server before sending" option.

Yes I did try that and made no difference.
In any case, I cant see how can that be the problem, since everything
works OK after I use Outlook Express once!
