If you enter the name, then it complains that it needs an account, if you enter the account it tries to authenticate via SMTP. I am not referring to the incoming mail being able to select POP or SMTP, obviously that is set to POP and works fine. >If you want to use the pop method don't tell netscape >to try the smtp authentication method. Again, if we are talking retrieval, it is set to POP and retrieves just fine from vpopmail... however it cant send, and I don't see where you can tell it not to use SMTP without it complaining. >If you want to use smtp authentication then give netscape >the smtp user name values.
