i have two accounts set up in my mac mail, one is hotmail working fine, the other is attached to a website this is the one that there is a problem with. from this one I can recieve mail but not send it. I have checked all of the outgoing settings includeing the SMTP ones and they are as my serivce provider states they should be. on the account information page it does say in the box beside outgoing mail provider (SMTP): after my providers name it says (offline). this is what I cant seam to change. according to the mail drop down menu on the top bar is tells me that the account is online and so I can't change it there.I'm assumeing this is where the problem is.
