As Salaam Aleikum!
Today my ISP have suddenly began throwing up error messages when I'm try
to post a reply to a mail in my inbox. The message reads:
Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server
mailout.telia.com timed out. Try again or contact your network
administrator.
The last time that I sent a message successfully using SM 2.7.2 was
2013-10-09, and I have *not* made any changes in the Mail settings in
the Mail Preferences. So I took a long shot by shutting down SM 2.7.2
and firing up my old SMPmW118 version and tried sending my reply from
there. No joy, up came the above error message again. So what in the
nine purple hells of Palain[1] could have happened here? What should I
do? I've tried rebooting, firing up SM 2.7.2 and tried to send my reply
again and, you guessed it, up came the same old error message as
mentioned above. Could it be some problems with the router? Incoming
mail are processed just fine, it's the Send function that barfs. I've
even tried sending a email to myself - had the send worked it would have
bounced into the Inbox immediately, but no joy here, the same old and
now tiresome error message appeared again.
I've contacted my ISP by phone but they could not help me, instead they
suggested that I should use their webmail service instead, but it's not
possible to log into it in SM 2.7.2 but I *can* log into webmail in
SMPmW118, but the mail interface there is a pain in the ass.
Alternatively they suggested that I should contact their Premium service
phone number which will cost med nearly 300SEK / 48US$. I have a
complete system backup from 2013-10-05 (I tried to restore all profile
data from my latest full backup namely 2013-10-13 but that didn't solve
the sending problem), so should I try to restore all profile data from
the 2013-10-06 FULL backup?
Suggestions?
