THANKYOU EVERYONE !
I WILL be following through on all the suggestions and clues !
Right now though ... it works like expected !
Connected Router in just now , turned off PPOE in the Network
preferences
from the usual set up,
and it started and mailed immediately .
Perhaps My ISP had Mail problems last night at the same time I was
having Probs
.. anybody's guess .
Cheers
Bob

Hi Bob,
A couple of things you could check.
I notice that Arachnet have a Proxy setting. Check that your Firewall
is not blocking Port 8080
Address: proxy.arach.net.au
Port: 8080
Can you access your email via webmail in your browser, you may be
able to verify your name and password there.

Find out if you can reach your incoming mail server from your
computer. Open Network Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and
click Ping.
Type the mail server name: mail.arach.net.au : or IP address in the
address field, and click Ping.
If you see 10 repeating lines, then the server can be reached.
If you have changed options (such as Use SSL or Authentication) in the
Advanced pane of your email account preferences. Check that they are
correct.
Cheers,
Ronni
