Error 3259 - Bellsouth Account

Email Client: pop

Has anyone else had a problem sending using a bellsouth account? I have tried changing the settings including changing the port from 25 to 80, that did not work. Would I need to contact bellsouth or does someone know how to fix this...its getting very frustrating.

I am able to receive mail, just not send it.

I looked at the other threads and still have not been able to figure it out.

Thanks!!

They are there to provide you with the info needed. Call them.

See this page for AT&T (formerly BellSouth) showing what other users have
found successful.

I am able to receive mail, just not send it.

1. If you can receive but not send then you have a bad SMTP configuration
2. If you can send but not receive you have a bad POP or IMAP configuration

You can try re-entering info.
You can delete account and create a new one.
Using copy/paste can result in an extra space being added. Type carefully.
Check your Keychain for corruption.
