Mail shuts down 10 seconds after opening.

Question

I don't have any "to do's" in my calendar as stated in other discussion topics.
I cleared my mail cache . . . cleared cookies . . . I just don't know what else to do.
I'm sure the switch to Leopard is causing the problem.

Answer 1

that may be an entirely different issue.
how many accounts do you have? and where are you trying to send from.
for each account you should have an outgoing server set up. See mail>preferences>accounts>account information, when clicking on outgoing mail server you will see a list of all the smtp servers you have, the first one being for the account that is highlighted in the left hand side column. what you could do is to click on the "edit server list" and then go to advanced, and then re-enter your password and click ok, see if that solves the issue. If it does not you may want to change the port, but before you do that you may want to browse this forum for your ISP to see what server port others use.
Furthermore, depending on where you are trying to send may make a difference. For example, if you are at home, with your own internet connection, you might send without a problem. But if you are at a friend's place on his/her internet connection you might not be able to send, as his/her ISP might prevent you from doing so, in which case you may need to add their smtp info to your outgoing server list.
Finally, it might just be a case of your ISP being temporarily down, and just being patient.
hope this helps
