Well, the most common error with this is that Mail will
automagically enter your username and password, and attempt to use
authenticated SMTP; if your ISP doesn't support that, then sending
mail will fail, even though Connection Doctor says it's OK.
I've never allowed Mail to do this. I always enter a bogus password
so it will fail and force manual configuration because I don't have
reason to believe that automatic setup is making a secure connection.
Finally this is why I love, Love LOVE!!!11!Eleventy!! IMAP mail.
Got a problem with an account on a machine? Just delete it, and
recreate it. All the mail lives on the server so you don't lose
anything.
Deleting a message from an IMAP mailbox in Mail (at least in Leopard)
is not Undo-able. Sure, you can fish it out of the Trash, if you know
which one it was and can find it, but that's not Undo.
