Jill, Some isp's require authentication turned on for sending mail (sasktel.net requires this). Go to mail prefs and select the account and edit it. At the bottom of the screen it has outgoing mail server and below this is a button for advanced, click on this and set authentication to password and enter the info. I use mail in OSX all the time and really like the spam control, very nice and works really well.
