  just a stab here, but wondering if anyone has had issues with their mail when plugged in via built in ethernet on a mac? my airport has been running slowly, so i plugged right in in my laptop, which is pretty damn fast on the internet, but i get an error of could not connect via port 110 at my mail server. i checked in terminal and i can infact connect to my mail server, just not via the mail app. also, the software updater will not download stuff when the ethernet is atttached. i know this is an issue on the machine, but do not know where to fix. again, everything works, albeit slowly, with wireless, but via ethernet internet fast, but mail and software update do not work. any mac people out there have any clue. many many thanks for reading this.

  This may be a no brainer but try going into System Preferences > Network and delete Ethernet. Then add it again and hit Apply to create a new profile.

  What kind of router are you using? Is the mail server on a local network? Maybe some ports are blocked for iApps somewhere else in the system (Advanced options in the respective network interface)?
