I'm using Leopard's Mail v3.3 for email. About a month ago, when I would click on the Send button to transmit a new email, I would get a pop-up window saying that it couldn't send the email with the connected server. It asked me to select a server or try with the selected server. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't and the email ended up in the Outbox. Usually, it would get sent at a later time.

When I click on the diagnostic box in the pop-up window, it shows I am connected to the 'net, so that's not the problem (I use a broadband connection). I've added no new software or made any significant changes to my system. I'm current on my software updates.

I've closed and reopened the Mail program, shut down the computer, restarted etc, but the problem persists.

Any ideas what's going on? Could this be a problem at my ISP location? I ask because my wife uses Panther on her Mini and said she's having the same problem.

Thanks, Bob.
