Hi Daniel, Apologies for my late response, have been working all day until late this evening. Yes, I would say you are definitely correct about the two protocols. There was one comment on the net that said not to use them together as one would hit problems. Rather than make any changes to these protocols at the moment, I will hang on until I get my new MacPro, whenever they become available and will probably have the two machines set up as POP. I do appreciate you favouring the IMAP though and its advantages.
In regards to the Outgoing Mail Server, I now realise I should have gone into the Outgoing Mail Server box and edited the SMTP server list, as this is the only way I can get to the password etc. A friend came around this evening and checked this. The password and other settings were where you said they should have been. He did change the port number though, but later discovered it had reverted back to its original number. However, it got me back on line with sending out emails. Neither of us have any explanation for this. I also called iinet as the server was saying I was over my quota - which is only 1000mbs. I was told the server was not functioning correctly which was why it would not release the deletions I had made. It should be running okay tomorrow. Who knows ! Many thanks for giving me a hand on this one. I can say I have learnt a lot from this experience, mainly thanks to yourself and will keep your emails as a reference in case I need in the future (let’s hope not though) Sincere thanks again Jewels > On 20 Nov 2019, at 1:00 AM, Daniel Kerr <wa...@macwizardry.com.au> wrote: > > Hi Jewels > > OK,..so part of your mail issue could be related to one computer using POP > and the other using IMAP.
