Hey Rocco, thanks for the response. Here is the output for both imap and smtp:

Assuming imap timeout is shorter ? Regardless, something is not right, as "connection timed out" is probably not ideal ;) Any suggestions are welcome, Thanks ! == Dylan On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 8:58 PM, Rocco Rutte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > > * Dylan Stamat wrote: > > > > I'm on a fresh install of OSX (Leopard), and did a macport install of > > mutt-devel, > > (see bottom of email for config opts).
