I set up Apple's Mail program on my iBook. Currently I receive and send mail through Earthlink, Adelphia Power Link Cable account and .mac. I believe I set up the mail accounts correctly. I am able to receive mail from earthlink and .mac and PowerLink (although for this one mail tells me the account is locked?). Sending mail is another thing. Today, I cannot send mail through earthlink (rejects my password!) or PowerLink..same thing. The message says: PLAIN mechanism not supported I know that many of you use Mail. If you could tell me what is wrong here I would appreciate it. Birgit
