Just got back from a very frustrating time in France :\ . Having recently converted to Mac because "it just works", i'm confused by something that just doesn't :Angry: .

I've got an AOL email account set up in Mail which works fine on my home WiFi network, but on the WiFi network i was on in France, although it would receive e-mails, I couldn't send any. I just kept getting told that the server was offline. Yet using exactly the same inbox and outbox settings in my Iphone i could send e-mails.

Does anyone know why it doesn't work from my mac??

Sounds like the DNS Server Primary and Secondary addresses were not set up.
