on-rev mail server

Is anyone having troubles with on-rev IMAP and SMTP servers? I've just upgraded my OS and all the passwords for the servers were blank but when I input them I don't get a connection. I restarted using my back-up HDD, which has all the boxes filled in, but it can't connect to the mail servers

Re: 64 bit LC

Surprised that no one has replied to this so I'll just offer a bit of advice. Whilst on the surface your assumption is correct, 64bit will allow more accuracy than 32 bit, what you need to be aware of is the same gotchas still apply to 64 bit LC as 32 bit LC. Try this in the msg box: put

James, Just wanted to say thanks so much for creating this. I'm a Dash user, always have it open with LC and this will help the LC workflow tremendously. Just a note, when I double clicked on the docset to activate it, it started Xcode. I'd hope anyone who is using LC would be able to figure out

Re: What has changed in MacOS 10.12 in handling code pages?

What I should have added: If you set a font for your stack, does that fix the problem, i.e. you still leave the font setting for Menus and Fields empty. If not, if you specify a font for your Menus and Fields does that fix the problem? Obviously you have to choose a font you know has Umlaut etc.

Re: What has changed in MacOS 10.12 in handling code pages?

I was thinking that this might have something to do with the installed fonts you have and maybe some sort of substitution if the font you used with your pre-10.12 install is not available with your new install. Interestingly I've just done a test and got a rather unusual result when trying to
