in the sent mail folder it does indicate that it was sent no messages other then mail has been sent.

So what's the problem then?

tb will not send mail.

That sort of contradicts your other statement. You'll need to explain that in more detail.

thank u for reply.

ya think i missed a few words? i even got confused

ok write a new message, send it, appears in sent folder but goes no where. all settings are correct (hopefully) -------tb doesn't send the message, it lies to me by putting it in the sent folder)

ok write a new message, send it, appears in sent folder

When the message appears in the Sent folder, it has been sent.

Whether it gets to the intended recipient is an entirely different story.

i solved the problem
