I'm new (about a week) to Linux and Gutsy, and my TBird (TB) has been working just great, until suddenly this evening. I'm on a dual boot box, so I checked several issues, trying to home in on the problem. I CAN download webpages and new email. I CAN SFTP webpages to my domain. I just cannot get TB to send out email, all of a sudden.
I haven't been doing anything radical to my system in recent hours, however the last email that went out is dated Jan. 4 at about 4 AM, and I cannot recall all the events of the past 24 hours or so, relative to what might have possibly relate to this problem, and besides I'm anything but swift in figuring out systems problems.
I have very carefully looked at how my email account is set up in TB. I've compared the SMTP settings in my WinXP TB's account with those in my Gutsy TB account setup. They are identical. I don't see a problem in how I have things set up, and I haven't been tinkering with the settings, anyway.
So...can anyone suggest how I might approach this - what I might look at or try first? I really don't know what to do at this point. Thanks!
