Sending from mac

[Jenny Mac user]

Hi all
What a great forum. I haven't had to use the Sky smtp settings until today, and I can't send from the Macbook using Mac mail. Have had no issues with the PC and the Mac sends find using different smtp settings. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Jenny

Jenny,

Have a look at this page...

Hope that helps you.

Hi
All set up as per that - although as it is not a sky mail account but my own, pop settings are obviously related to this account, surely this is not affecting this? It's fine on PC/Thunderbird...
It's just really odd.

If you want to just use your existing email account, try this:

POP3 - your own email's pop server (not Sky's)
SMTP - smtp.sky.com

Hi
That's exactly what I have set up - but still no joy - and haven't got it working to date. Any more ideas anyone?

I still have a Plusnet e-mail account that I still use and so thought I would see if I could access from Mail.

1. In the Pop Server part, I put "mail.plus.net"

2. In the smtp part, I just put smtp.sky.com

I still know my user name and password, so entered them.


Then send e-mail from sky acct using entourage, to plusnet account - and low and behold opened 'mail' and it worked fine ( tried it 3 more times successfully)

Hope this works for you.
