You also say 'authentification 'password' ', if this is refering to the 'Outgoing Mail Server Settings - Authentication', I believe this should be set to 'None' as mine always is. No password is used for outgoing emails. In mine, for the *Incoming* settings (under Prefs - Accounts - Advanced in Mail.app) the SSL port is 995 and this is turned (ticked) on and the 'Authentication' is of course set to 'Password', for to recieve email you must authenticate. I hoop this helps, hayte to think you have to mess aboot like this on ya hols AYE?
