I don't always understand the reasons why some techniques work for me, but I always remember when they gives me the results I seek.I was not trying to make you take my suggestion without an explanation, I just knew it would work - and I did not have any explanation to give you, sorry ...This is pure conjecture, but I believe the reasons have something to do with Apple's network software. When I was testing FlexMail, it did exactly the same thing as Emailer - it failed to work unless the designated POP server was on a different machine.Fortunately, FlexMail came with clear instructions NOT to designate a POP server on the same Mac, but Emailer does not come with the same recommendation ... and maybe it should.If it is still important that you understand the technical reasons for this behavior, maybe someone at Pacific Coast or NetDreams or Apple can actually explain the reasons to you. For my own needs, I could care less why this happens - as long as I have a technique that resolves the problem, I'm happy ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome ..... ken@iav.com http://usarea.net/home.html Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
