Hi Eric,

No problems. You were clear in your explanations. It's just that I didn't
pick-up the fact that you went from the topic of receiving to sending
emails.

Let us know how you went with email retrieval.



Email sending by the Pskmail server is not done using your smtp server
(that is why there is no field to input that data in the jPskmail version).

So if there an issue with sending mail over the internet it is linked to
the server's setting only.

Regards,

John
