i checked it all, it's identical. It just seems very odd. It's giving me no errors, and it was working fine before. For inst ance, i can sit on my mac minny, and send myself a test message. I can sit there all day and enver get it. The system inquires for mail every minute. Keep in mind, the macbook is off. Then i can quite mail on the mac minny, launch the mac book, load mail, and there it is. Any ideas?
