I cannot send any E-mails from the second computer, however I can recive E-mails with no problems, on the second computer.

I have checked the accounts settings, and they are both the same on both computers. Also both the computers are both up to date with the software. They are two iMac's, running OS 10.13.4.

My ISP in btinternet.com.

So I think that if you have the same E-mails with the same password, on two computers, on one you will not be able to send any E-mails from the second one.

You should be able to send on both.

On second computer: when you try to send what happens? what error message do you get....word for word?

I phoned the help line but he said he did not know the answer and hung up. I looked at the forum but could only find stuff about moving everything to a new computer and about working and storing off line. My question is: "If I download TBird to me new desktop will it simply copy (NOT move) from the app which I will be leaving on the laptop (Including existing e mails and mail addresses?
