[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1748514, member: 76746"] Hello Ember 1205 & Thank You for helping out. Thanks for the link to the article. My settings match the ones required. All was working up until I had to change passwords. Then it went wonky. To be honest, I'm confused about what you wrote. I'm really lousy at mail and internet stuff. You asked if sbcglobal allows different password for web access vs. POP vs. IMAP. I used that same password for web & POP. For example, if my password to go on line access for mail was changed to "XWQA", I inserted "XWQA" as the password in Mac Mail. (These are POP addresses.) When you asked if the password propagated everywhere, it made me think of looking in Keychain Access app. (Mail preferences doesn't display the password). Keychain Access app has me even more confused. For each of the addresses, it shows passwords that were changed over a year ago. There have been two different ones since then. That part I can't figure out. Shouldn't Keychain Access have either the one I just changed to or the one I was using up until the most recent change? (I'm logged in as administrator, so I assume I'm getting the real list.) I wonder if I should manually change the password is Keychain Access app or if it will really mess up the works. Thank You again for helping. The Keychain really has me stumped now. Paul [/QUOTE]
