[QUOTE="Horatio Street, post: 78730"] Thanks! I followed your instructions and managed to delete all except for one. Don't know where it's hiding because I scanned the file three times. When I went back into Mail/Preferences to see what changes took effect, I found that all the information about my current ISP had been deleted. How that happened is beyond me since I was careful not to touch anything associated with it. But I inputed it all back in and sent myself a message through a webmail account, and received it. The "Find" feature in the Finder sure didn't come back with anything for "smpt" when I used it. I'm so used to Windows that I figured I could just do a search of the Registry. I think the think tanks at Apple should find a better way to make getting from A to Z easier. (How hard can it be to create commands that respond easily and quickly -- as I needed in my case -- to a request to locate any and every "smtp" reference within any and every folder and file?) I don't have the $$ to take Mac classes, so I've looked at several Mac how-to books but can't tell which one is better than the other for hands-on help. Is there one that stands out from the rest as the best Mac guide available? Thanks, once again! :girl: [/QUOTE]
