That's what I'm saying. Oddly, it is only that way on one of my PM e- mail accounts. All the others allow access. In fact, I have another e- mail client that has a checkbox saying "use default settings" which it picks up somewhere from the System. When it is checked, it shows the same SMTP server as the one that is grayed out in the PM setting. >What is your OS locale, and what version of PM? >I have seen this with one of PM betas, and was caused by bug on the field >encoding, if I remember correctly.

But that still avoids the question of where are the default settings stored. When I click on "Edit..." button it opens the .Mac preference pane, which has no visible settings for default SMTP server (and I don't have a .Mac account). In 10.2.x there was a Preference for network settings. Where is the SMTP setting in 10.3.x? --Ira
