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

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.
