on the laptop, I AM able to ping remote hosts by IP address only. By name, no. How odd.
I'm not getting any name resolution errors, though.

The above goes back to sounding like a DNS problem. Could also be a firewall problem if you have a firewall thats blocking UDP port 53 which is used for DNS. That would explain why you can ping an IP but not an FQDN.
Here's one thing to try, if you know, or can get the ip of your mail server put that in place of the FQDN in your mail client. That should cause the mail to work because you won't be doing a DNS lookup. That will put you one step closer.
