I think I'll wait to see if suggestions on this
list fix the problem before I contact MS support. To be honest,
I don't really want to call somebody who is in India and speaks
very broken English. :)

Wow!
I'd contact the Microsoft company.

Hi everyone,
I'm having a very frustrating problem with Microsoft Outlook
2010. I
finally got it set up with my Gmail account and got it to
receive
emails. For some reason, it thought I was using the trial
version of
Microsoft Office (and I might well have been,) and wanted me to
buy
the full version. The funny thing is that I had bought
Microsoft
Office when I bought my laptop back in 2010. I reentered the
product
key and reinstalled Office, and Outlook seemed to work. I then
told it
to receive emails by pressing control m, and that worked. The
problem,
however, is I can't send, reply, or forward emails. I tried
both
pressing control n and clicking on "new message" from the home
tab on
the virtual ribbons. Both of these methods did nothing; when I
pressed
control n, JAWS just said "control n" and did nothing, and when
I
clicked on new message from the ribbon, it just stayed in my
Inbox. I
went into my account settings, and noticed that my SMTP
(outgoing mail
server) port was set to 587, so I changed it to 465, as this was
the
port number which worked when I set my BrailleNote up to send
and
receive emails from my Gmail account, and my BrailleNote uses
the same
servers (POP and SMTP) to send and receive emails as Outlook.
But even
after this setting was changed, I still can't send email from my
account using Outlook. Very frustrating and weird! Do any of
you have
any ideas as to how to fix this? I'm using the Gmail Web site to
write
this email, but I'd love to use Outlook, as I think it works
very well
and is easy to navigate using JAWS. So, any help would be
greatly
appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris
