Big Mac Attack

. . . . And NOT in a GOOD way.

Have returned home from Cleveland to my laptop, to find that on my laptop I am having sudden ghastly trouble with Apple 3.6 Mail: it seems to have updated itself somehow without warning, and now refuses to *send* anything.  As in, the "Send" glyph is dark, and unresponsive, and even the pulldown menu MESSAGE>SEND is greyed out.  I'm receiving just fine.  

I've also got the mail working fine on my iPhone & iPad - I think it did some kind of stealth upgrade when I started with the new iPad last week, since that's when it started making dear little whooshing noises when it sent mail.  But I was having no trouble with it then.  I turned it off Friday, and turned it on this afternoon, and the Mail told me there were exciting new things I could do. (I can now think of a few exciting new things I can think of for it to do . . . but never mind.)

I have OSX 10.5.8.

I am not clever at any of this, so unless you know a quick & obvious fix, please don't leave elaborate suggestions here which I won't understand.  Instead, please Comment here with a time that I can IM or phone you. Thank you.

BONUS POINTS:  So I added some new Apps to the iPad (under my brother Philip's tutelage), and they are all trying automatically to load themselves onto my iPhone without even being asked.  I bet there's a button I can push for that (to make it not happen, I mean).  Isn't there?
