What Veenee said first. Make sure you are connected to the ISP that your SMTP server is hosted through. Most ISPs, especially cable/dsl, do not allow for other email servers to send through them. You can always change the POP account, but the SMTP usually has to be your ISP's servername.
Also, make sure that your ISP didn't go and change servernames on you (mine did about 4 months ago - I had to go digging to find out what it was since they didn't send an email to let me know). Find out what the current servernames are for both POP and SMTP, then doublecheck against your settings.
Finally, just in case, on the off chance that something really screwy is going on, like your friend accidentally has your address blocked, try sending your friend email from a different email address (I mean like from Yahoo or something web based) and see if it goes through.
Just as an aside, go to FILE, then go down the list - make sure you are not working "OFFLINE" and also make sure you are logged in under the correct account (if you have it setup that way).
Hope something here helps.
