Still cant figure out how to get my .Mac mail.

I've read all about port 25 and 587 and all sorts of abbreviations of techno terms I have no idea what they stand for.
I'm sure its something simple. What needs to be changed?
I get the message;
"The connection to the server "smtp.mac.com" failed."
Thanks

Lauren hit the nail on the head... however to elaborate.
You will most likely need to change the SMTP for your email in order to send over Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, when you use one of the preconfigured email services (in this case .Mac) you do not have the ability to manage many of more technical aspects of email.
Rather, I recommend creating your .Mac account as an "other" account and choose IMAP.
The incoming mail server for .Mac is- mail.mac.com
The outgoing mail server will be your ISP's. Make sure to supply your .Mac username and password for authentication.
