More email help needed -- Droid 2/Earthlink E-mail

Help! I've setup to receive my personal e-mails from my earthlink account but when I try to reply to a message or create/send a new message, it doesn't send!

I've contacted Earthlink and have received all the proper settings for my e-mail account, but still no luck. I receive all my e-mails just fine, but no luck sending them! (I have no trouble receiving/sending e-mails via my pc using Windows XP Professional?

On my Droid X2 Global, I'm using the app that was installed on the phone when I received it. Is there a better app to use? (That won't conflict with my earthlink account?)

And yes, I've searched the archives for help and I've tried everything that I found, including deleting/re-adding the account, reprogramming (*228 Option 1) the phone, turning it off/on, etcetera. No difference.

Thanks for any enlightenment or help you can give me. I'm frustrated! (I have no problems sending e-mails through my gmail account)

I experienced a similar issue on my Droid X and the working solution for me was to just install K9 email client and use it as default email app.

Check it out at https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fsck.k9&feature=search_result

Also wise to uninstall accounts from default email client to avoid multiple alerts for same messages...

Thanks for the suggestion Wildman. Alabiker, I hope this resolved your issues. If your still having issues, I suggest also checking your email settings and your EarthLink server setting.

Server addresses, security information and additional support can be obtained from the email provider.

From a home screen, select App menu (located in the lower right).
Select Settings.
If the application icon is missing, select App menu filter (located at the top) then select All apps.
Select Accounts.
Select the email account.
Select any of the following; General settings, Incoming server, Outgoing server, or other settings.
