Check server names to resolve Mail.app problems
Sep 24, '02 09:07:15AM • Contributed by: Anonymous
When I imported my email settings from Entourage X into Mail.app in 10.2, I could no longer get or send email from my ISP (DSL), but could do so with my .Mac account. In each case, it told me the server could not be contacted on port 110 for POP3, or port 25 for SMTP.
Upon closer inspection, there was an extra space at the end of the server names. Removing the space allowed the connection to proceed.
[Editor's note: I tested this by adding a space at the end of a server name, and sure enough, Mail had a problem with it. Remove the space, and everything's back to normal.]
