smtp suddenly stopped functioning for a group of accounts. Incoming mail is not affected. I have not changed any settings for years and have added new accounts from time to time... but no changes have been made for a couple of months at least, and upon checking the account set ups, all is correct... as it has been. I used a Mail Script to identify unused smtp settings and deleted them. I also opened Mail Connection Doctor (this is in OS 10.4.11) which showed all in-coming as operational and a variety of gmail, me.com and verizon smtp servers were not functioning. Possible reasons and things given to check are: check network connection... no problem, check account info... all is correct, check if SSL is supported... it has been and I've got them all checked with the correct port. I will try unchecking SSL to see if that changes. I don't think that will help.... and it didn't. I have also restarted in Safe Mode a few times during the week, and have also used DiskWarrior on the internal and external drives.
Does anyone have any ideas on where to go from here? I know that I can kill the problem accounts and re-create them... what I don't know is if I'll lose any of the email sitting in those accounts. Thanks in advance for any help. All my email is functioning using POP accounts in Mail 2.1.3 on a 15" 800 MHz Ti-book with 1 GB RAM. -- dan_A -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
