I have just been trying out Mail in Mountain Lion. This is my first iMac.
Everytime I try to send an email from my AOL email account/details, I get the below window appearing:
Strange thing is I can receive email to this AOL email account, its just I cannot send from it.
Could anyone help me fix this issue please?
iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iPad (3rd Gen) 32GB iPhone 5 32GB
It sounds like your Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) is not set up correctly. I would suggest ypu open Mail>Preferences>Accounts>go down to the line on the lower right of the window that says "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)>click on the drop down arrows at the right end of that line, and click on the "Edit SMTP Server List..."> in the following two available windows make sure all the settings are correct as to Port, Password, Server Name, etc. as stated by your ISP (in this case, AOL).
Thanks Radiation Mac. This is the window that appears.
I've managed to sort it, it was the weirdest of things.
In the below screen shot where the arrow is indicating. I had my christian name and surname in this section. I then changed it to my full AOL email address and its sending and receiving emails fine now 
Thanks very much for the help, its much appreciated.
Cannot send an email with my AOL email address
