Thanks everybody! I probably want to get back to Eudora, but for tonight I just tweaked OE. Originally I turned on the "Secure Password Authentication" option on the servers tab, that must be what was breaking it. I hadn't actually seen the other SSL options on the tab further back. SPA off and SSL on twice seems to work. Will try Eudora tomorrow. -jav Margaret Wilson writes: > It depends what client you're using.
