Dialup internet - works for FTP, but not auto email... any thoughts?

My dialup setup seems to work just fine, EXCEPT, for the automatic emails!
This was all working fine until a couple of weeks ago, when my machine crashed (WinXP SP2). BSOD in a USB driver. After that, the automatic emails don’t work, but the auto FTP does, and the automatic warning emails work! I’m baffled.

Any thoughts?
