So far everything has gone smoothly except for one quirky issue that I cannot seem to solve. That is that his email username has a space in it. On his Win machines, this is handled by using a dot in place of the space. But in setting up the same email account in Mail on his Intel iBook, the outgoing mail server will not accept the password for his username, whereas the incoming mail server has no problem. Thus he can receive mail, but not send any. I have tried using a dot, a space, "%20" (without the quotes), and an underscore in the username where the space occurs. For the incoming server, the dot works. For the outgoing server, none of them work. Does anyone know how to handle this?
