[Mac-talk] Apple Mail problems duplicates, can't send out on 2nd server, dates changed

[Gautam Godse]

hi Kristin,

What is your SMTP server settings for your artcenter.edu account ?

Also, do you have this problem when you try sending from home or outside 
? At home, who is your ISP ? You should use your ISP's SMTP server when 
you are at home. Check if your isp allows SMTP access even when you are 
not at home. Some ISP's dont (RoadRunner/TimeWarner for instance). If 
that's the case then make sure your artcenter.edu SMTP account is setup 
correctly. You might need to specify your entire email address as 
username (i.e.stephens at artcenter.edu). Also check if your artcenter.edu 
SMTP server requires SSL connection.

As for the duplicate mail, I would need to actually see what is 
happening to try and figure out the solution.

Bring your Mac to the SGVMUG meeting and if you can't wait that long 
then I will be happy to take a look at it on the weekend.
