ok heres the problem
outlook on a pc which is connected to orange dial up sends and recieves emails fine through outlook and it is a freeserve email address
outlook on laptop which is connected through BT recieves emails fine but when you try to send one it says the senders email address has been rejected this is also using the freeserve email address and with the exact same settings that is used on the pc
im not very technical so any ideas??

From what I remember certain BT ISPs don't let you use their outgoing mail servers for non-BT email addresses...
It's either Openworld or BT Internet but not sure which. Easiest thing is to give their customer services a quick bell -- they might charge a fee to enable it?

You can't send another provider's email through a different provider's server.
The orange one works because it is backward compatible as freeserve turned to wanadoo which turned to orange
But BT to Freeserve is completely different

Sure you can, my ISP allows me to send email at both my Corsa Sport and private email addresses.
There are two reasons why you can't, either the ISP will only allow email whose from addresses match their own domains, or they don't even offer outgoing mail. BT falls in to the latter category.

you will tend to find that ISP's will only allow people on there own IP blocks to send email through there SMTP. So if you are with BT, use there outgoing SMTP servers. If not use your appropiate ISP's outgoing SMTP offering. Incoming is not affected in the same way.
