> Provider.
> 3. Double-check Preferences Account info.
> It is easier to retrieve mail than to send it, in setting up Mail. 
> Some ISPs will not accept mail for sending if it is sent from an email 
> address not matching the ISP domain. Example, mail from 
> shakespeare at marslink likely won't get accepted by earthlink for an 
> upload (sending mail), although working through most ISPs, one could 
> download mail for shakespeare at marslink. Of course a third party, say 
> milton at aol.com, can use AOL to send mail to shakespeare at marslink and 
> that would go thru ok. ISPs apparently disfavor anonymous and 
> pseudonymous sent mail.
> 4. This creates problems when trying to reply to email lists that
