Yes, ask them for the correct settings -- ISPs sometimes change them and users don't always pay attention to the notices. But don't tell them you use SeaMonkey, many ISPs will throw up their hands and refuse to talk to you if you do. Just ask generic questions such as what is the correct port? that can be answered without reference to your email client. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.
