[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1819302, member: 396914"] Sorry about the trouble, Leslie. As for the two "experts" who have commented, both are totally wrong. Totally. I used Yosemite with Comcast for years with no problem. And whoever told you that updgrading meant inheriting bugs was also wrong. I run Mojave, and it seems to work pretty well. I've encountered zero bugs. Not that there are none to get, but I haven't seen any. OK, so the three incorrect tech ideas taken care of, what I would suggest is that your restore from Super Duper mucked up the accounts for Comcast, which is leading to the issues. What you might try is to open Mail/Preferences and in the account you want, under Server settings, erase and re-enter the two server addresses. Also, click on the "Advanced IMAP Settings" and make sure there is nothing there under "IMAP Path prefix." Receiving and not sending indicates it's probable that something is wrong in the SMTP settings. In my Comcast settings, the boxes are, from top to bottom, my email address, which is also my User name. Then my password and the SMTP server. Check for your settings, erasing them completely and re-entering to make sure nothing is hidden off the edge of the boxes. Hope that works for you. Comcast and Yosemite (and every OS after that) work well. [/QUOTE]
