I use Mail.app at home for both my home and work e-mail (Mobile Me and Microsoft Exchange 2003 respectively). For a while, it worked great. Then all of a sudden I couldn't send messages from the work e-mail account--I could receive, but I couldn't send; the Mobile Me account continued to work just fine, in both directions. When I asked my IT department, I was told there had been a problem with one of the Exchange servers and that it had to be reset or replaced. But they also said that that should not have affected me. They suggested that I recheck the account from an iPhone. Of course, the iPhone worked perfectly. But that doesn't help Mail on my home Mac or my work laptop. One funny thing: When I bring the laptop to work and connect wirelessly there, I can send, without changing its settings. One other thing that might be helpful: To connect the iPhone to the Exchange server, we use a Webmail server. The IT department has given up at this point. Can you help? …mehr
