The Dufus approach.


 

I was having trouble sending email from my desktop (IMAC 5K 27" LATE 2014) which was quite annoying.? Cox is my provider so I thought it could be an issue at their end.? I am using Thunderbird.?? I tried to look at all of the trouble shooting sites trying to diagnose the problem but to no avail. Then I got the black screen...? the backlight was functional but that was it.? No starting chime. I grabbed my iPad ant starting hunting for a solution. An Apple site asked me for the serial number for my machine but I could not find my purchase receipt so I looked to see if it was anywhere on the outside of the machine.? To do so I had to turn it around on my desk which meant unplugging it (see where I'm headed?).? Still no serial number. ? Oh well after lunch I came back and plugged it in thinking I would have to take it to our local Apple store for help.? Just for the hell of it I started it up and all of the problems were fixed including the email issue!? Previously I had gone through all of the suggested "fixes" for a black screen including the unplugging step but apparently I didn't leave it unplugged long enough?? I know better than to be smug about this...

When things work out that well for me I say:

"I meant to do that!" 8-)

I'm happy that things are now great for you, but it couldn't hurt to verify your setting in Mail.app. On this Web site you can enter your e-mail address and it will give you the correct settings for you for Mail.app.

Maybe. Doesn¡¯t work for my email even though the domain is hosted by pair.com
