Yep,
Sure enough, I tested another account "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". It works
for SMTP & POP if I set the Email account to
"pecandeluxe/[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
So, that got me to thinking. I went back to my Active Directory settings
for the user. I started looking at every instance of the Account
ID/Log-in. And on one of the pages ("Account" to be exact) is an item
that says, "User logon name (pre-Windows 2000)". The help text for this
reads, "Type the user's pre-Windows 2000 logon name here. This user name
is used in the pre-Windows 2000 format, which is domainname\username".
Terribly helpful, no? But on a whim, I typed into that space,
"doug_starkey".
I then went back to Emailer and typed into the Email account,
"pecandeluxe/[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I sent a test message via
that account (SMTP). It worked! I then tried to check the mail (POP). I
got my mail!!
Who'da thunk it? So, now at least I know how to fix Emailer for my other
users; at least until I get Entourage installed.
Thanks for all your time and assistance, Chris!
Couldn't have done it without you!
