Hi Bruce, thanks for your response. I opened Mail prefs and in the Accounts Pane, chose one of the non outgoing accounts, went down to the "Outgoing Mail Server scroll box, scrolled down to "Edit Server List", near the bottom of the listed smtp servers. I killed the server and then hit "Add new Server" in that same list and added back the deleted info by typing it into the required panels. Still not working. If I delete the account itself, when I recreate it, will I have lost the mail in the mailbox... or lost access to them. Or will the recreated account automatically pick them up again? I'm using a different server and hope this goes through. dan_A -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
