I can't get Mail.app (or Thunderbird) to work on an iMac connected
to the internet via computer to computer Airport.
Computer 1 is Intel Core Duo running 10.4.10 and connected directly
to internet via ethernet to cable modem (Telstra). Set to share
internet connection via Airport.
Computer 2 is G4 running 10.3.9 and shares internet over Airport.
Works fine. (It also has printers connected to its ethernet port
and to its USB port which it shares back to computer 1. Works fine)
But can't get mail reader on Computer 2 to connect to either
incoming or outgoing mail servers. Tried with .mac mail and with
Gmail. Tried Mail.app and Thunderbird. No go. No problem reading
mail on web on Computer 2.
Hi Dudley,
Computer 2 is connecting to the Internet fine, so it sounds like your
Mail settings are not correct on this computer.
1. Have you set your .Mac account to use 'mail.bigpond.com' as
'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
They will only allow outgoing mail on Port 25 through their mail server.
Mail > Preferences > Accounts (xxxx'@mac.com') - Account Information
- 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)' mail.bigpond.com
Server Settings : Server Port: 25 and NO tick in 'Use Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL)
2. Are you forwarding your .mac mail to your bigpond email account?
Cheers,
Ronni
