I am on a Win2K laptop right now using the same IMAP account, so I know it works, has been for a year now, so it's something specific to the Mac. The server install is standard, no strange paths or anything else. Deleting the preferences you mentioned, is that only mail pref's? Or will I have to setup other stuff again? > I have had problems like this with Windows XP systems with XP's default > firewall installed.

I have a hardware firewall, but like I said, it works from 2 other PC's just fine, that port is open on the firewall. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
