if it's not working at their end, no amount of tinkering will help... You could (after backing up!!!!) (back up again to a separate disk) (promise you backed up?) ok, disable the account in Prefs, then create a new one with same details. Tell it to leave stuff on the server. See if the smtp works. Then you can either re-enable the old account and drag everything to the new one, recreating hierarchy if necessary (only if it's pop) or exclude the new one from checking and choose the new 'working' smtp server for the old account, after re-enabling it. Capiche? You don't say whether it's imap or pop, which makes a big difference. If it's imap, it should all be sitting there on the server when you create the new version of the account. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
