That would seem to fit with the whole idea of a sandbox, wouldn't it? It would probably work if you give yourself a temporary entitlement to Mail's pref file. I would try that as a test. It sucks as a solution, because you'd have to hardcode a path (always a fragile thing). I've never used App Store, but I imagine they may not allow that solution either. So if you care about App Store, you may need to degrade your user experience, as is apparently happening a lot because of App Sandbox. Better to ditch App Store, but I digress. But since you're looking for something pretty standard, like the user's SMTP server, and not some obscure Mail.app pref like font size, there may be API you can use. After all, the UI for such things used to be in System Preferences. In the old days, I'd have suggested the Internet Config APIs (see InternetConfig.h). Indeed there is a kICSMTPHost constant there. God knows if it still works, especially in App Sandbox. Maybe Launch Services has an API to get the smtp server? -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
