Hi William I have also read quite a lot or web pages and had quite a few phone calls to CompuServe!! It was authentication to CompuServe on the dial up, I had made the email work fine on my computer next door on my TalkTalk connection!!
In the end I have come to the conclusion that the dial-up is not going to work on 10.3.9 (it needs a script to make it work) we were on classic CompuServe and not 2000 so didn't have the programme working directly on CompuServe. I have gone down the route of a free dial up for now which worked first time, and then had to set the SMTP for that dial up on the sending of email and it worked straight away!! I had spent too long long already trying to make the dial up work. My long term plan is to put my neighbour onto broadband and also change her off CompuServe!!
