In trying your suggestions for clicking SSL in Mail--the port numbers did change, but I was then unable to retrieve any mail at all.


This is a dial up connection via Earthlink.
Two Earthlink emails and one Mac.com one.


Mail works fine when I unclick the SSL options for each account.


Wonder what went wrong?

    It might depend on whether these servers support connections over SSL. The error messages you got may have some clues for you?

    I had thought mac.com supported SSL it when I wrote the article, as Mail.app certainly implies that it does. However, this post calls it into question. It's kind of strange.
