Can receive email, yet cannot send it
I am perfectly able to receive emails, no problem there. When I go to send an email however this msg comes up:
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator."
Using the disscussion boards I have done the following to try and solve the situation:
• Created a new account with a new email -- still get the error msg.
• Changed my outgoing server settings to 456 or other numbers different than 25.
I am getting pretty frustrated... I have NEVER had any type of problem like this with any Mac and I work on them all day. I tried looking on both my host's and internet provider's sites for answers, but came up pretty dry. I am not positive, but I think this issue has to do with the last update of the OS. However, I have had the same problem before, but usually is went away after a restart, or fussing with the preferences. It has been three weeks, and I am dying to know what the heck is going on.
Also, would anyone know if help can be found at an Apple Retail store? I have one close by and was thinking of stopping by to see if they have any advice.
THANK YOU.
