For reasons beyond my control my "corporate" mail account is housed on Lotus Domino servers. I hate the Notes client so I got IMAP access turned on for my account. I use Apple Mail.app for my main mail client program to check my various other accounts, and I set up an IMAP account for the corporate account there as well. Mail seems to be able to download mail just fine, but I cannot send! I have checked and reched the SMTP settings and they are exactly as our IT admin people specified (Using SSL, port 465, password authentication). I get an error back that the server doesn't support authenticaiton when I enter my username and password. When I leave the username and password out, I get an error message that the server requires authentication. I set up an account using the same exact information using Mozilla firebird, Powermail, and the Gnumail clone of Mail.app and I can send and retrieve mail in all of them with no problem. But.... I like the way Mail works better so I would like to stick with it.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem. or have a fix?

Thanks

Ken
