You'll have to install the SMTP service on your system and configure it to connect to your mail server. That server may have to be configured to allow you to allow mail from your SMTP service on your system.
SMTP service is an optional component. I'm not sure that it's available on XP Home but it's definitely there on XP Pro. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Charlie Noah Sent: Sunday, September 12, 2010 9:27 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] EMailing from Universe Hi Bill, I'm running XP Home, and I don't have that directory. Is it an XP Pro thing, or do I just need to create the directory? Is there any software I need to run?
