Try substituting 

check mail "Mindspring"

with (keep comments if you need - it reminds you of possibilities)

                        --___ add more "Account Names" to collect more mail at the 
same 
time/session _____
                        
                        connect to "Mindspring" with checking and sending

Because this uses checking before sending it will effectively 
authenticate your account.
There is a newish script that tells CE to dialup, connect, collect and 
log off in Mac OS 9.1 because some older scripts don't work anymore 
because of OS changes.  If you need this let me know offlist.
