Hmmmn. I use mine with my iMac, and use Thunderbird on my PC to access it.. Not sure why yours is giving you issues.
BTW, on those ATT help pages I sent you to, I did see one where it told you how to set up Eudora for email. -- JRS [email protected] Facts do not cease to exist just because they are ignored. ________________________________ From: DHSinclair <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 7:04:08 AM Subject: Re: [H] Eudora Wizards Please? JRS, Thank you for the shout. Yes, what you shared is how I have both Eudora and Thunderbird set up. Eudora rcvs email , but records error(s) with each interchange. Thunderbird simply errors immediately on "check" w/o rcvng any email. I will again triple-check my program settings. Is there a possibility that my router might be intercepting/screwing with this new use of SSL and/or ports 465 and 995? I will also re-scan my router's activity log........... :) As jmaccraw suggested, I suspect that there may be yet another device in the chain that is not yet playing nice. Still checking. I did fully expect this situation to happen BTW. I have never had good relations with ATT; and, why my first xdsl use back in SoCal was after Verizon bought/absorbed General Telephone. I needed something else to do today anyway. LOL!
