[muglo] Re: Problems connecting with Apple's Mail

Sorry Leith but only just come on!!  I could have told you what you 
have now found out - I probably got the same info from them 
originally!!  I don't know why but I found out that after doing exactly 
what you have done, the SMTP got the user name added to it after a 
colon!!  Don't know how or why but I left well alone!!!!
Anyway glad you got the matter solved!  Even though one does seem to 
have to wait to get through to their tech support, they seem to be good 
- I have used them a few times!!

All the best and sorry for not getting to you sooner
