Is there a firewall on the machine ?

Is the mail server internal or through there ISP over the internet ?

If they are able to send and receive via another program like 'Outlook'

then it probably isn't a firewall issue

Can you ping the mailserver from the PC ?

To test what ports are open on the PC you could Google for NMAPNT

it works pretty well, or, if you have access to a Linux box :) on the

network

you could check to see if NMAP is installed and use that.
