[QUOTE="westwind16, post: 1388641, member: 245548"] [b]Mac Mail SMTP issues here too[/b] :Angry: We run MACS on Snow Leopard and Lion and have set up MAC mail as IMAP using the standard 143 port and a custom port for smtp that our host has opened specifically because 25 is so often blocked. This works just fine until MAC mail decides to change the setting on its own. Sometimes it changes the port, sometimes it deletes the account name and password required for SMTP. Our iMacs seen especially prone to this issue, but it happens to the mac mini and mac pro also. After all the changes, adjustments and email box rebuilding I have done for this office, I am convinced that there is a glitch in the software - a conflict of some kind that triggers this. In addition, we notice this same thing happening with ICal server. One day you turn on your MAC and suddenly, you cannot connect to the ICal server. Usually, when preferences are then checked, the password has disappeared. Re keying the password usually fixes the issue. On a rare occasion I have to go into the server and re key it there too. Again, this HAS to be a glitch in the software. I am going to a MAC server bootcamp in April, and you can bet I will be asking about these issues. In the meantime, please add whatever work arounds you find! [/QUOTE]
