I can say that on PM I have lots of accounts, some whose servers require
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as a login and others requiring only the part before the
@; I ordinarily trust PM more than Mail but this probably comes from the
fact I've used PM for long...
If you have a working setup in Mail it is very interesting because in
principle you can compare it item by item with PM (and go in any
"details" or "options" button that you see). It *must* be a matter of
setting.
Do you have a special port setting on one side and not on the other for
instance, or a crypted link set...?

This comes from a bug in Tiger -serious!
There is an update to install.
I found the issue before the update appeared, here is my understanding
of it, which probably is quite uncertain:
- for macs where OSX has been installed for a very long time (e. g.
since 10.0)
- and where one uses a very short admin name
- the updating program has trouble transfering the old keychain
- instead it saves it with a funny name somewhere, "login_renamed1"
- and then when you restart you have no more keychain
- this must raise trouble not only with PM but with every other app that
uses keychain, including e. g. your airport autoconnection etc.
What I did is launch the keychain managing app and require that this
login_renamed1 be the default keychain, to be open at login. It solved
my passwords issues. I didn't manage to rename the said keychain :-(
Then one hour later Apple issued the keychain patch, I ran it, saw
nothing new, am still stuck with the funny name, but working so far...

Could you please repost in detail how you set it up in PM? Replace the
personal details with "name", "domain", "PW" and so on. Include also
details on port setup and whether it's IMAP or POP.
I had a similar problem just recently and it was portsrelated (no server
on the port I put in there).

I had no port selected. I did put all the details in the original email
except the password. The mail was working when I had "midi" as the User
Account ID and stopped working when I changed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
It is a POP account, and I did follow the suggestion of CARL and try as
IMAP, but that didn't fix the situation.
I am the administrator for the domain and I have verified that I have
the correct password.

I deleted the account from PowerMail. I tried to put it in new instead
of editing it and that didn't work. I deleted the new one shut down and
restarted PowerMail and put in the account new with all the same
settings and it worked just fine.
I should have had a little more patience. Or maybe I can just lay it to
the fire gremlins which are lurking around still.
Thank you all for your suggestions.

Well, my PowerMail experience with Leopard could be because of some
glitch carried to my current iMactel via Migration Assistant, I don't know.
Here is my current situation. I can download my .Mac messages even
though my .Mac password won't stay in the Mail Accounts Sending and
Receiving fields. I have to Connect or Connect Again to get those
messages sitting at .Mac.
The password for messages sent to my mailbox at my ISP stays in the
PowerMail fields. ONLY those messages sent to my address at the ISP are
downloaded at the Mail Scheduling times.
I guess deleting some Preference and re-doing the Mail Accounts would
help, right?
