I don't know if anyone can really help me with this issue, but Ill give it a go anyway.
I am using an iMac, and my service provider is AT&T.
Everything has been working fine, yet suddenly today, after trying to send an email, I had a drop down screen that said my email could not be sent using Bellsouth.net. It advised me to check my user name and password. I had this problem once before, but forgot how I was able to resolve the problem.
Well, neither my username or my PW have been changed by me, or on my Email Preferences on the computer. My email configuration is the same as it has been for years.
I ran some diagnostics, nothing abnormal showed up. Yet I still cannot send emails, on either my iMac OR my cell phone, using my Bellsouth.net server.
I'm fairly computer literate, but this one has me stumped.
I really don't want to have to call AT&T and have to listen to some wannabe computer guru who doesn't know anything.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
Well, as suddenly as the problem surfaced, the problem disappeared. All of a sudden, Im sending email again. My guess is, it was a Bellsouth.net issue, and they corrected it.
