email Send broken on a Mac ?

I can't send email suddenly. It says it can't connect to the server but when I go to the "connection doctor" it says it's connected ??
I restarted the Mail function and it didn't help. Anyone have any ideas ?

And, no, I won't be changing to Windows :doh:

Thanks

I have had that happen on my pc and it is a problem with the email server not my machine. My email has failed to connect twice tonight. Since you are on here you have internet connection but their server must be down.

Ah perhaps your mail server itself isn't working for some reason.

I have no idea then but don't think it is the fact you are using an Apple or a PC really. Both systems pretty much handle email without problems. The only other thing is perhaps a setting got changed for out going that still works for incoming.

Guess I'll just shut it all off overnight and let it think about it ...

If your running a router, it has a diagnostic test feature that will tell you if it's the server or not!
