I spent 2 hours troubleshooting on the Apple forums, 30 minutes at a Genius Bar, countless minutes working with my isp and trying different settings to solve this problem. And then 2 minutes with this article not only solved this problem but also fixed the problem with sent mail not showing up in the sent folder. This is on 4 devices my wife and I own. Thank you. I can’t believe no one else knew this.
