 Oops, this is a bug, sorry. The code checks whether you have the SMTP
server and predates the support of local MTA -- I'll update it a.s.a.p.

 A quick "fix" is to uncheck "use local MTA", enter "foobar" (you have some
liberty of choice here ;-) into "SMTP server" field and then check "use
local MTA" again -- this should let you send mail for now. And I'll fix the
bug in the cvs soon.

 This is easy to check: do "telnet imap.ser.ver 993". If the connection is
refused, then it doesn't support imaps.

 This is a serious bug as well -- but this time not in Mahogany but in
wxGTK itself. Could you please tell me:

1. wxGTK version you use
2. GTK+ version you use (not 2.0 by chance?)
3. whether the wxWindows listctrl sample (you should already have it if you
   downloaded the wxWindows sources) exhibits the same bug?

 Thanks!

 It's longer to explain than to see, so simply enter some address in the
field and press Enter.

 There is, don't worry.

 You still have the address field above, don't you?

 This is probably the reason of the clipping bug in the list control -- but
why does it happen is beyond me. I've never seen this yet.

 Again, the quick fix is simple: turn off the splash screen (last page of
the options dialog). The real solution is a bit more complicated...
