Then I suspect that either your Usenet a/c or your IMAP a/c is not using
the default o/g server.  Look under :

    Edit / Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings

then select each of the accounts in turn (by clicking on its name
in the left-hand pane) and look at the very lowest setting in
the right-hand pane where you should see :

    Outgoing Server (SMTP) [default]

Look to see if any are other than [default]


Yes, there are two listed.  One is smtp.purdue.edu (default) and the
other is smtp.googlemail.com.  I've discovered that if I set the
googlemail server for outgoing as my default for my Purdue account, it
works.  Curious.  Does this mean I should always have only one o/g
server?  If so, why does SM allow me to list many?  I've always had the
two servers listed.

Not necessarily, I've got two and it's not a problem. But some ISPs are
finicky, won't let you use anyone else's SMTP server.

Bottom line -- if you can get it to work, go with that.

Thank you for your help. I now recall that at one time I had the two servers in the opposite order, so perhaps that caused the problem. I have no idea how to change that order of listing.

In any case, it all works now, so thanks.
