POP Mail.app problem
I'm trying to run 2 pop accounts from the MAIL program. The first one i set up works fine the second does not let me send out email. Spoke to isp and mail server administrator we tried everything. Mail gives authentification not required error when it is required. When i try it without authentification it says it needs to be authenticated.
The settings are exactly as they were on this persons previous pc on outlook. After two hours we gave up trying and setup entourage the same way and it works. Also works on old PC. The only place it doesn't work is MAIL. Is there anything i can do?

I assume you set all your pop and mail server settings correctly as you stated in your post.
Off top of my head i'd suggest one thing:
In the mail.app pref pane you'll find a field, where you have to type in your account id. Though, i would try
"[email protected]" or
"idname;domainname.com"
Also, try this in smtp server settings.
Sometimes this change makes a huge difference.

Again the only problem i have is sending mail not retrieving it your suggestions didn't work in smtp server settings. This is frustrating since this account works flawlessly in entourage and in outlook on the pc
Like I said, I think it's just a preference file that may be corrupted if you ask me. I'm sure that if you try to redo it things will be fine.
All in all, if you have another mac try it on there. If it works... Then just take your preferences and mail files and drag them to the mac you are on now.
I also did this with my other mac when my junk filter got corrupted, I draged one from my other mac and it was up and running in no time.
Hope this helps

I managed to get it all working with entourage but using mail would be so much better because of the way we share contact lists.
That should do the trick.
