Did you type the whole hostname "smtpauth.earthlink.net" or stop after "smtpauth." when the "next" greyed out? When I just tried this, the "next" greys out with any hostname entry where you end with a ".", (as that results in an invalid hostname), but when I kept typing it ungreyed. The full earthlink hostname entered fine with the "next" highlighted when I got done. You need to enter the FQDN (fully qualified domain name), not just a short form, here. - Richard -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
