Hi Jerry, Thank-you! It's good to know that I have the POP3 and SMTP designations correct.
However, I'm still not there. I set all of the "INFO" entries to "DEBUG" in "environments.xml" and tried connecting. After it failed I looked in the log directory and there were no new entries. It's like the message never got to JAMES. In Outlook I get: "Log onto incoming mail server (POP3): The specified server was found, but there was no response from the server. Please verify that the port and SSL information is correct." As far as I can tell I'm not using SSL and I've re-checked the port numbers (110 and 25) multiple times. It sounds like I have the network addressing right, but JAMES just doesn't respond or acknowledge that it even gets a message. What would make JAMES completely ignore a log-on attempt? (BTW: I can still send an email to the user account I'm trying to open.) Thank-you for your thoughts. nh-tom Jerry M wrote: > > The incoming and outgoing mail servers are simply the machine name.
