"Could not connect to this SMTP server" error box.

I suspect this is common, but what do I do? I get an error box when I attempt to send outgoing mail from Mail. Connection Doctor tells me under smtp.mac.com:budsteetle "Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences." I have made not changes in my account, so this appears to be an Apple problem. I can send mail OK through MobileMe on my old .Mac account. Ideas? Usually, the Outbox empties eventually, so far it has been 1/2 a day.
thank you...

Hi Bud, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I saw this earlier, but hoped a Mail expert would drop by, or at least somebody that liked the dot mc service!
