Your current hosting package MUST allow SMTP ( http://en.wikipedia....ansfer_Protocol ) to work. Otherwise, no email can be sent.

but some of my email are being received?

Are the emails you send going through your new hosting service POP3 email address each time or are you sending those emails from the Web Mail service your host supplies or via another email address?

Check the link I gave and see if you need to activate this service within your Control Panel. Make sure Outlook Express uses the new hosting email address each time for sending/receiving. It should be set as the default email address unless you are checking the From field and choosing from the drop down menu.
