Hi Dirk, I'm using Sylpheed on a local machine, and the email server is on a remote machine. I've tried the server's domain name and its IP as the server name but Sylpheed just isn't telling me anything. Does it have a log file? Is anyone using Sylpheed and Courier-IMAP? - Grant > HTH > Dirk -- [email protected] mailing list
