How funny; I had no idea you were a fellow Mac user! [img]smile.gif[/img]
I am assuming that you are accessing your mail from a mail program and not the Internet itself. So my guess would be that, somehow, your outgoing mail settings got messed up. Might Earthlink have changed them on you? To change it, if you're using Apple's Mail program, you'd go to the Mail Menu and change your Preferences under Accounts. If Earthlink is now requiring a username and password to send mail and didn't used to before, you'd need to enter those into the blanks for it under Outgoing Mail.
If you were using an outgoing mail server that WASN'T Earthlink's, then there's a good chance they cut off outgoing mail access, since spammers are notorious for abusing outgoing mail servers. The remedy there would be to switch to Earthlink's server, probably.
I don't know about your e-mail, but almost all providers also have a Webmail option, so in a pinch, you might be able to just log into your e-mail from the Internet and send from there. I had to do that for a while back when I was using my university's e-mail but logging on from home with my parents' AOL (which doesn't give you an outgoing mail server). I HATED it though; I don't know why, but I hate webmail.
ANYWAY, I hope you get the problem fixed soon! [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img]
