bellsouth.net mail!

i have recently got a new e-mail address on bellsouth.net and it will not send mail, however, it will receive mail.

the previous e-mail i had was also with bellsouth.net, and it worked awesome.

i have tried outgoing as: mail.bellsouth.net & cwmx.com, neither work.

has anyone had the same problem with bellsouth outgoing mail?

Can you please post all of your settings (except username and passwords, of course). The problems with BellSouth generally seem to be with sending. Receiving works for most people.

I too have problems with using bellsouth.net when on EDGE. No problems receiving mail but no go on the outgoing side. I would love to see your settings also.

My settings are as followed:

_Incoming Mail Server_
Host Name: mail.bellsouth.net
User Name
and Password.

_Outgoing Mail Server_
Host Name: mail.bellsouth.net
no username or password.

Then in advanced settings make sure SSL is turned off for incoming and outgoing settings.

my incoming server port is 110.
my outgoing server port is 25.

Hope this helps!

I can't find the spot where it shows "advanced". With this exception, I've done everything you suggest and the message keeps coming up "SMTP acct verification failed".

Click on your mail account name "mail.bellsouth.net". Then scroll down to the bottom just before "delete account".
