I can't use localhost or 127.0.0.1 because the imap server is a different machine. I'm trying to access the imap server from my laptop. Mozilla on OS X has no problem connecting to 192.168.0.100. I'll try tonight to see if Mozilla under X Windows can connect. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo!
