Hi Linda, When I clicked "Test Account Settings" everything was 'completed' except for 'send test email message'. This one said 'failed'. It seems the problem has to do with the port #, which is 110 and the SSL. The specified server was found but no response from the server. Does this make sense? LaShay --- "Linda F.
