Good Day Everyone!
I've got a goofy problem with Mac Mail in OS X 10.4.11
The problem is new in the last couple of weeks. I don't remember changing anything. Here's the situation:
I have two profiles on my computer. I call them "Work Stuff" & "Real Life"
In Real Life, if I write an E-Mail & click "Send" a box pops up and says it can not use the selected server. I'm prompted to try another server (I have 4 E-Mail accounts. 3 of them show up to choose from- All are the same ISP). I try another one & it still fails. It won't try the alternative. I tried Preferences to force another one, but it still stays at the one it wants.
Example: If I have E-Mails of [email protected] [email protected], [email protected] & [email protected]- I'm sending from ABC. It will pop up with JKL as the server. & ask me to select an alternative, but only ABC, DEF & JKL will be in the list. I can go to Preferences & tell it to use ABC when I'm sending from ABC, but it won't be ABC next time, back to JKL.
It puts the message in the outbox. If I go there & double click it & click "Sent" it sends fine, right away. This happens every time I send a message. Second try is the charm.
If I use the profile 'Work Stuff" I never have a problem sending. They go out on the first click of "Send"
I looked at all mail settings for every account & for both profiles. They all match. They also match my wife's computer settings.
I tired asking my ISP (ATT). They said "I dunno... Use our mail program."
I searched this forum & didn't find the answer (but learned a whole lot of useful things about Mail. Thank You All!)
Is there, perhaps, a Plist I can dump to get things working correctly? Is there something I'm missing in my diagnosis?
Thanks for all of your help! I know this isn't life threatening, but it is kind of pesky! (Especially when I forget to re-send. oops!)
