Hi, I've been using mail for a while and have been having problems sending mail from it using my isp's settings. i just got a mobile me trial account to see if I could use that to send email from the app. That was another no no. So I tried to reset mail so I could start a fresh by deleting the mail folder in the library. Now when I open the app it auto add the mm account and only has an inbox, no other options down the left hand side etc and still tries to connect to my old isp's smpt settings. Im looking for a way to reset mail to fresh. Can anyone help????

I will be eternally grateful.

thanks.

you said you deleted the library folder, did you also delete "username>library>preferences>com.apple.mail.plist" ? deleting both of those should do the trick.
