Thanks!
I don't believe that's it. Two reasons:
-it typically works for the first outgoing email then starts having

-and, though it may not be quite relevant to your thought, Mulberry on my 
laptop, going through the same router to my ISP, works without a hitch.
Do let me know if these arguments are not persuasive.
