In Windows Mail, like Outlook Express, you cannot send email if you are not
connected to your ISP.
This is done to prevent complaints of spam and referred to as "relay mail".
If you use WiFi connection from a public location, you are connecting to
another ISP, not your ISP.

However, if you go to your ISP's web mail site, you then can read, delete,
reply or compose new mail using your ISP server.
