So the e-mails silently disappear? If Outlook successfully sends/recieves but the e-mail disappears it sounds like a problem with your ISP.

Looking at those screenshots it seems that you're using your Web host for e-mail from 347media.com, not your ISP. That indicates a problem with the ISP setup, perhaps these settings are where the problem is. Have you changes those to forward e-mail to your local machine? If you haven't got an e-mail server setup it won't work.

All if not most ISPs provide you with an SMTP server to use. Your best bet is to setup your computer to use that.

I got the server to work. Outlook has no problems connecting and logging into it's incoming and outgoing. When I first got it setup there was no problem sending and receiving mail, but for some reason NOW I am not getting the test e-mails that I send out or in.Outlook doesn't give any error messages though. The last e-mails that I sent, I could only REPLY to an e-mail that I already got before, but I couldn't send NEW (again, outlook has no problems with it)
I have a dynamic DNS server from my ISP.

Note: I have no problems sending and receiving e-mails from webmaster@347media.com to webmaster@347media.com

It seems you need an SMTP server to be able to send email. Windows doesn't provide one by default.

Go to this page in the PHP documentation and search for:
for Windows users there is a fake sendmail option'
You'll find a comment explaining how to install a fake sendmail.
