Good evening John,
Do you know if your ISP requires SMTP Authentication? It sounds to me like
your POP settings are correct, as you can receive mail, but that your SMTP
settings are incorrect.
Some ISPs do require SMTP authentication, while others do not. I would
think that other than an actual error with your username / password this
will end up being the solution.
HTH,
Everett

Subject: Re: MAIL Problems
Hello; I don't know if this will help or not, but when I got my first
mac a little over a year ago I had the same problem getting set up with
people pc. I was on hold waiting to talk to a customer service rep when
I heard a f a q message about setting up pop 3. It said that I had to
put smtpauth instead of smtp in that field for it to work right. Once I
did that, I never had any more problems sending mail. Another thing to
check is that some i s p's require you to use your whole email address
instead of just your screen name when signing in through pop access. I
would actually try the second thing I mentioned here first. I hope this
helps. Good luck, Max

Hi All
I am a new Mac user and am enjoying the Nac with Voice Over having
previously used JAWS.
The only problem is with Mail as I have tried all I know to utilise Mail
with limited success. Being in the UK my ISP is BT internet but I have
only managed to receive incoming e-mails via the POP server and only
after unchecking the SSL check box to enable this. My problem is that I
can not send an e-mail as theSMTP server, according to a dialogue box,
is rejecting my password or user name. I have checked this out and I am
totally frustrated as nothing I do seems to work and I am positive the
password is correct as I have changed this only a week ago. Any UK users
using BT with any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I have to revert to my Windows PC to send this e-mail.
And all the best for a great New Year from Scotland.
