The old copy of 1.17 on the same machine works correctly in mail as
does a copy on another machine on the same network.

any suggestions welcome.

This is due to a change in the port and authentication of the Comcast
SMTP server. (Thanks for telling us, Comcast)

  From a mail page, go to Edit/Mail&  newsgroups account
settings/Outgoing server (SMTP)/select Comcast and then Edit.


I have had the same problem on my supplier but I can follow these
instructions up to and including selecting my "Outgoing server (SMTP)"
but then how am I supposed to "then Edit"? All I have is a drop down
selection list with SMTP server names, I've tried picking each one and
the all seem to produce the error but I can see no route into edit
anything about them... they are just a selection drop down list. There
is no "Edit" button, right clicking them does nothing. I've read all the
help, I've searched all the menus... I am very puzzled. :-\


Ken

Then you're in the wrong place.
When running SM Mail and Newsgroups, go to

   Edit ->  Mail&  Newsgroups Account Settings...

This will give you the Mail&  Newsgroups Account Settings dialog.

In the tree view on the left side of that dialog, scroll to the bottom
and you should see an entry named: Outgoing Server (SMTP)

Click on that.

Now, on the right side of that dialog will be a list of outgoing servers
(of which there may only be one in your case). Select one of them and then
click on the Edit... button.


Kudos Mark. That was a quick, excellent response that together with the earlier responses solved my problem. I am impressed, thank you sir... :-)


Ken
