Hi Brian, I fail to see how your comment tells me anything useful? I know how to do the advanced SMPT setup, but it's buggy as hell. I often end up with 6-8 entries in there (all with the same name, including blank some blank lines).
They were not put there by me! The program does it. I have edited my prefs.js file to remove a ton of superflous SMTP servers and renamed all references to smpt1 as per a virgin install, but still it doesn't work. I note that some other people were having the %S smtp server bug and that there's a fix in AccountManager.js, but I can't find that file on my system anywhere? Help! Thanks, Mark.
