Hello Nimar and Jenny:

You're not going to believe this, but what did the trick was selecting the 
"does not require 
authentication" option for the outgoing server. On the PC I have to check the 
does requihe 
authentication option. Thanks for your help. If you had not inquired about the 
authentication 
issue, I'd still be obsessing over what I might be doing wrong regarding the 
server address.
