strange problem with Mail

Avatar Eric Jervis
I have three email addresses, one with yahoo which I use all the time, one with hotmail which I set up in case yahoo ever let me down, and another one with hotmail for my new business. Its very convenient to use Mail as I can swap between accounts without having to log in separately to hotmail. However, when I attempt to send an email from the business account I get a pop-up saying, "Unable to send message using server at hotmail, choose another server", or something to that effect, and it offers me the choice of servers; i.e. yahoo, hotmail 1 or hotmail 2 (business). If I click on yahoo it doesn't work but if I click on hotmail 1 it does. Any ideas Gentlemen?

continued: I just received a reply at my hotmail 1 address to an email I which I thought I'd sent from my hotmail 2 address. Further investigation of my sent folders revealed that i'd actually sent it from the hotmail 1 address. My incompetence is obviously to blame, I must try harder.

Grrrr.... I definitely sent one from the business address and it refused to obey me again!! It graciously consented to send it from the hotmail 1 address.

My daughter solved it by signing in to that account. I'd seen a message in the business account addressed to her telling her to sign in to her Outlook account, which apparently is what Hotmail is now known as. I feel really old now.
