[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 1124173, member: 3850"] Okay, let's clarify a few points: - You're using an email address provided by your old ISP "Cable & wireless" - You access your email via Apple Mail - You're using a new ISP to actually connect to the internet Is that all correct? It doesn't matter which ISP you're using, the email setting you need to use will not change for your old email address. So you still need to enter the "Cable & wireless" email servers in Mail, as that is where Mail is going to retrieve and send your emails, regardless of the actual ISP you're using. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and make sure that the C & W email account has the correct outgoing server selected and choose your port settings there again as well. Also check the authentication settings, if you have received those from C&W. Alternatively, may I suggest setting up an ISP-independant email address? Sign up for Gmail, it will import all your old email and will continue to collect any email to your old address for you. [/QUOTE]
