Hello folks,

I'm trying to use OpenOffice for mail merging documents to email my students.

I'm using the v3.0 beta on OS X Leopard.

Within the Options settings, under "Internet," I've selected my E-mail program as /Applications/Mail.app

under "OOo-dev Writer" I selected "Mail Merge E-mail" and entered in the settings for my internet provider (Comcast for me):

SMTP Server name: smtp.comcast.net,
Port: 587

Under Server Authentication I checked the "outgoing mail server requires authentication" and selected "same authentication as incoming mail server" with settings:

Incoming server name: mail.comcast.net
Port: 110
Type: POP 3

and entered in my user name and password.

These are the same settings I use for other mail clients (Entourage, Mac Mail, Thunderbird).

When I select "Test Settings," I get "Failed" on both "Establish network connection" and "Find outgoing mail server"

Any idea of what I might be doing wrong here?

Thanks much for any insights you can share with me.
