Question

Setting up Charter e-mail with Mail 4.5

Sep 16, 2011 1:33AM PDT

This topic has been around the forums in a few forms. Bottom line is that Mail 4.5 is not communicating with charter.net. Both pop and imap servers have been attempted. Mail cannot communicate securely with the server, and it seems like the problem is on Charter's end with their settings. The security stuff is bungled. These have been looked at and tried: http://www.myaccount.charter.com/customers/support.aspx?supportarticleid=1417 For some reason Mail tries to use socket 993 for incoming even though it was set at saved to 143. Any other things to try? I'd like to set this up for my wife before upgrading to Lion and she loses Entourage (PowerPC app).
