Computer advice sought - can receive e-mail, but can’t send it., the title should have read.
A computer question - we are staying in a rented apartment (don’t ask!) and we have internet access through a cable modem. I can connect to the internet with no problem, I can download my e-mail, but I can’t send e-mail through Thunderbird. I can use webmail, but I hate my server’s interface.
MacBook Pro, Thunderbird 2.0.0.17. The specific hang-up is when I type Send, it says Connectin to smtp.(my server) and grinds away at it for 2 or 3 minutes then tells me 'the message could not be sent because connecting to smtp.(my server) failed. No, I haven’t messed with any of its settings since we left home. Could there be some sort of firewall to prevent my sending mail from a connection that isn’t the same server as my e-mail address? This is starting to bug me…
