I have finally woken up, please put it down to a senior moment. Of
course I know what servers she is using. I have my own web site and the
provider includes mail, both POP3 and IMAP. I use the latter.

So my daughter is using the servers on my website, as do I and my wife.
I have now moved over to claws mail myself, which I am using now, and
have not had any problems. My wife is using TBird and so far no
problems.

So my question remains, are some accounts set up to require that SMTP
be set up with authentication, while most don't mind, or am I missing
something?

Thanks

Neil
