Hi there,

First of all, thanks for letting me join your forum!

I would really appreciate some help in setting up my Mail account so that I can work from home. Currently my MacbookPro is using the works server to send and receive mail through my e-mail account... Problem is, I would like to use it at home too.

I have found that I can receive mail but not send it, does anyone have any ideas as to how I could resolve this at all? (I"m in OSX 10.6.3 if that helps anyone at all).

Make sure that your outgoing e-mail has your password. Both outgoing and incoming have to have it. It's under Mail

I, too, am having issues with "problem connecting with server" issues for the past week, after changing settings, and then changing them again to the correct settings, subsequent to a change from AT & T DSL To UVERSE. MacMail works fine, intermittently, and then doesn't....I get error msgs. and it takes me "off-line."

Any ideas why? Passwords, ports, pop and smtp servers are all correct, SSL is checked......
