[Hidden-tech] strange email problem, Mac related

[Frieda Reichsman]

Hi,

I have a friend who is trying out an iBook; mostly he is a Windows  
user. 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?

Frieda
