<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi All, <DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> I have been trying out Tiger on my new G4 laptop (it came with it) and am having some problems with the Mail.app (ver 2.0.1). In particular, Mail does not seem to be able to reliably retrieve email from the server (I am using the IMAP protocol). For example, I can see with Webmail that I have several emails on the server but they are not downloaded until much later (hours) if at all. It does seem to get the mail eventually but not in response to pressing the "get Mail" button or after selecting "get new mail" under "mailbox". </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> My sense is that this has something to do with the account setup and passwords. Initially I had set up my account as I have on my desktop (with 10.3.8) using socket 465, SSL and no password entered. After finding that I could sometimes solve the problem by quitting Mail and then relaunching Mail (which required me to re-enter my password) I entered my password at the server settings (i know that this is not recommended) and this seemed to make things work for a while but the problems seems to be cropping up again (after a day of pretty reliable email). </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> I have been reading the recent set of emails between Carolyn, Albert and Alexandra and I am wondering if I should be using Kerberos and not SSL. If so can someone let me know what socket to use? If not, does anyone have any other suggestions? Everything else is working fine on the laptop with 10.4.1 and I am going to need Mail to be working for an upcoming trip out of the country so if I need to put 10.3 on the laptop to make email work I would like to know sooner rather than later. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> Thanks for any help (sorry for the long message!)</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Sincerely,</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Steve </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR><DIV> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="New York" size="4" style="font: 14.0px New York">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="New York" size="4" style="font: 14.0px New York">Stephen P.
