I set up my smtp and pop settings in Mail the same as I did on my powerpc powerbook. But it still refuses to send mail and continues to say it cannot connect to server. Since I am using a wireless router, i push in smtp-server.hawaii.rr.com (for road runner in Hawaii). and that works fine on my powerpc powerbook's mail. However this macbook won't accept it. Anyone know why?

    Could it have anything to do with that port 25 thing? I think port 25 used to be a default but a year or two ago mail services stopped accepting from port 25 and wanted it changed to 110.



    That's in Mail Preferences in the Advanced tab.
