Aqua-Soft ForumsOKAY - First, I knwo this may seem off topic here, but with all the tb skinning authors and user here, I figure this area of the forums has the most tb expertise, and that's what I need badly. So here goes.
Well, let's see, I just finished skinning tb 0.7 to mail.app, after many problems and fiddling, and I loved it.
1 day later.
Bt yahoo sends me an email telling me I now need to use smtp authentication when sending mail.
They also say that to use an email client it must be outlook/express etc, or one of microsoft's products.
Yeah, I laughed too.
So I tried to send a mail from my btinternet address using tb to my hotmail. Unsurprisingly, the password screen comes up. So I enter my password. and wait.
And the password screen somes up again. This continues. My pass is not being accepted, I guess.
So I set up OE to the settings that use SMTP authentication. And, the mail send works. So I examine the settings used to look for a password. However, the settings are that it tells OE to use the same p/w and stuff that it uses for incoming mail - i.e. my password.
But it just isn't working! I can't get tb to send my mail!
It recieves fine, but can't send! I'm totally loathed to go back to OE or use the webmail page! Please, someone, ANYONE, HELP!
