I have windows 2000 professional with Service Pack 4 and have office 2003.
I installed Winfax Pro 10.03 and it installed fine.
Also, can receive faxes OK.
However, I want the faxes to be forwarded as e-mail.
So, I enabled faxes to be sent via SMTP.
It also recognized Outlook and imported the phonebook.
I used the same settings for login,password, amd smtp server settings which are in Outlook 2003.
But keeps telling me that login has failed.
I tried two other e-mail accounts and the same result.
I have another program called 32bit internet fax, those same settings work fine for e-mail.

Can somone, please help me.
Thanks
Barry

OK, was able to fix this issue.
If anyone needs to know how, let me know

Hey, I just ran into this very same problem. Very frustrating. If you are still on this board, I could use some with this issue.
Thank you.

when you go back to the Email settings, do they still appear there, or are they missing?

[dribnus]

Thanx for the response. Yes, the settings are still there. I am using COX.NET email service which is smtp.east.cox.net.
Then the username and password.
Any ideas?

Do you have any suggestions or setting that I should check to resolve this issue?

I believe there are problems and limitations in how winfax handles smtp sending of e-mail. I personally haven’t had much success sending directly using smtp in WinFax PRO. I’ll see if I can test it again..

[dribnus]

Ok, please let me know what you come up with in testing. I have tried many things, but no luck.

Is this just something that won’t work? I would think there would be a solution. If not, is there another software any could recommend?
Thank you.

Thank you.

I could only get it to work when using it with Outlook Express to automatically forward emails. I could never get SMTP to work.

If your still around, my settings dissapear everytime, and i keep getting login failed.. Anyway round this.. Symantec suggests re-installing the software. But this is always their response, and i dont want to go that round.

From the looks of your post you had the same problem.
