settings on outbound mail server (smtp) is not setup.. this is the first probably.. then make sure you have local folders selected in a valid directory.. then you can rename your current profile to something else.old. then use the profile manager, create a new profile to the same name and the create email/imap/pop accounts using the same info as your older profile. then from your old profile that you renamed the directory copy your news/imap/mail/local folder directories to the new profile.
