Didn't look at the google reference but the first one has some useful stuff if you ignore the post itself- the guy is a complete idiot for suggesting godaddy's dns resolution is broken given that is the whole purpose for godaddy to exist in the first place. The suggestion that people find out the IP of the mail server and use that instead of the name is just totally ignorant. This is fixing symptoms instead of causes. If you skip past the beginnin there is some good stuff in the responses. The users point out there are sometimes bogus settings in the godaddy control panels for their domains. If Dale got it working through Thunderbird it proves name resolution is not the issue and theoretically he has all the info he needs to get mutt to work as far as credentials go...suggesting it is settings, and nothing else is wrong. Please remove any auth stuff in all copies of your muttrc that tells the mail server what authentication to use and just take the defaults. Your userid and password and the mail server name should be all you need to specify. Mutt works for me on a bunch of mail providers without any confusion or complications. /jl -- ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) Powered by Lemote Fuloong against HTML e-mail X Loongson MIPS and OpenBSD and proprietary / \ http://www.mutt.org attachments / \ Code Blue or Go Home!
