Ray, I think Freeserve/Wanadoo/Orange have made some changes to their SMTP Server recently. I'm not sure where you would find this setting in OE as I use Outlook, but in Outlook you would go to Tools, Accounts, highlight your account and press, shift-tab to Properties, switch to the Servers tab, and make sure the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) is set to smtp.orangehome.co.uk I hope this works for you.

No problems with incoming mail. Any advice, please, if I can get this e-mail out!!!-mail to get out!!!
