>A clarification please. Trying these permutations should be in the >eMailer "Account Setup: Email Account" field, correct?
Correct > And if the SMTP >server is "macsmtp.mail.msn.com", that is what should be after the @ ? The SMTP server and the POP server are potentially two different servers... so you can't blanketly say that what is in the SMTP server field is what goes after the @ sign. You need to enter the DNS for your POP server after the @ sign (for some ISPs the POP and SMTP server are the same... for others they are not, you need to find out what YOUR setup is). >e.g. for the account I'm trying to setup it would be: > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> right idea... but given the example here, I would say it isn't going to work (1: it is unlikely, even for Microsoft, that they have a DNS entry with the word "smtp" in it for a POP server; 2: macsmtp.mail.msn.com doesn't exist based on a DNS lookup, so it is unlikey to be correct in any event, although it might be on your isolated ISP network if they are not running it on an external DNS server) >Or should all of this be in the "User Name" field of Baton Mail? You are dealing with POP (incoming) mail, so Baton Mail shouldn't be part of the setup. Baton Mail assists with SMTP (outbound) mail only. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
