Just got back home for the summer and suddenly I can't send emails out using Mail on my Mac.

When I try to send one, I get "cannot send message using the server smtp.gwu.edu."

I've tried using the other smtp options but I get the same message... this was never an issue before leaving for school and setting up my email==IMAP@gwu.eduIMAP@gwu.edu=IMAP@gwu.eduIMAP@gwu.edu/email account.

Any ideas on what to do?

EDIT Just realized I didn't mention this The issue occurred because I never set up the gwu.edu SMTP correctly... I can receive mail from that account but I can't reply to it. The other account I'm trying to send from is a .Macurl==http://=http:///url account.

You need to configure your mail client to use your home internet connection, not GWU's.

Google your ISP's name and the name the mail client you use, and there should be plenty of information. If not, post here, and I'll tell you what to do.
