[muglo] Problems connecting with Apple's Mail

Thanks to Biti and Eric for their suggestions.

I got through to Porchlight tech support and the rep and I managed to 
figure out a solution.

Got to Mail/Preferences/Account/Server Settings/Authentication

The default for Authentication was "None".  Change to "Password." 
Then add in Porchlight "User Name" and "Password."

Cheers,

Leith
