I assume from the instructions in step 12 that I am to replace "mail.comcast.net" with "localhost"
Good so far?
Yes, that is correct.
When I do this and try to check mail, I get a window:
Window header = Logon - mail.comcast.net Please enter your user name and password for the following server. Logon Server: localhost User Name: "rowski" Password: "********"
Reentering user name and password and clicking OK just brings back same window.
Can someone please get me back on track?
Have you tried reentering the password to check that it's correct? If you go to the "Advanced" tab in OE, is the "This account requires a secure connection (SSL)" box ticked? =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at python.org) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this.
My 1st guess is that spam bayes isn't running and OE is trying to login to the SB proxy. The reason I say this is because I'm assuming that it WAS working before changing to localhost.
