I've given up trying to use ozmac as a POP email account for this

Also found that if I sent to an email another ozmac account, ozmac
refused to accept the email saying it required authentication. But my
ISP outgoing server does not allow adding authentication. So, can't do
it this way.
The problem is this....
ISPs can restrict access to their SMTP server based on the IP addresses
they give to their clients. As such, they don't need to use
Authenticated SMTP. Other SMTP servers such as ozmac.com, needs to be
able to accept connections from anywhere. This means it must use some
form of authentication to keep from being an open relay (spammers
heaven).
Ideally you should be able to use the ozmac.com POP account, with your
ISP's SMTP account. (Unless they are being annoying and rejecting
emails with a non ISP email address.)
Otherwise, just use the ozmac.com server for sending and receiving. To
do this, you need to make sure your mail client can use authenticated
SMTP.
