Since someone has given you a response on #2, I'll take a stab at #1.

It sounds like the credentials for the mail account have not been setup
properly. While you can name the account "Datalink Mail," the info for the
incoming and outgoing mail servers is usually in different format.
Something like: pop3.datalink.net and smtp.datalink.net. Some ISPs even
simplify it to mail.domain-name-here.com and mail.domain-name-here.com

Check the support pages for your ISP. They should have a page available
with the information needed to setup any email client.
