[QUOTE="LeslieT, post: 1819348, member: 167636"] [b]Done All That[/b] Thanks for responding, but I've already worked on re-establishing the Account exactly as Jake describes multiple times with Comcast. I've spent an hour with top-level Comcast techs resetting things, but the OS still changes the smtp address. Yosemite adds smpt.comcast.net:myemailaddress every blasted time I edit the smpt address. Comcast reports, correctly, that the issue is with my operating system. I've tried getting into Accounts to make the change to allow insecure mail (not that I wanted to, but to test this) which didn't help either. To make matters worse, I cannot get the Mac to import a mission-critical set of nested mbox files . . . even though I can see them and know they are properly formatted/saved. I've been able to import other mailboxes with no issue from the same directory, but naturally, the most important ones will not import. Once I get Thunderbird working, I'm going to give up on Apple Mail. Right now, I'm running BOTH mail providers so I can at least see most of my necessary saved mail in Apple Mail and yet send email out of Thunderbird! LeslieT [/QUOTE]
