Merv, Done all that. No change, still cannot send emails to 2 of 3 accounts that use the same hosting service. I am wondering if I should ditch all this and migrate everything to Mac Mail but that begs the question of importing some form of corruption. Bill On 08/07/2011, at 10:02

Ronni, Can now report success by deleting the relevant .msf files and re- starting. Both accounts now work again. I don't think it matters much what the files are called and that in-silico are not experiencing any issues. Thank you so much for your help. Bill On 08/07/2011, at 4:34
