[X4U] Unable to send mail

[Richard H Stoddard]

I did Google and found the thread in the support forum. Seems it's an  
Apple server issue. The account is a .Mac account. I was able to send  
my initial post via the web access, but it's possible it had cleared  
up by then, because I was able to send a couple of minutes later with  
my mail app.

Sent from my iPhone.
