Re: SMTP problem...new builds

I *may* have solved it:

Reading between the lines of some responses, I guessed that something was 
amiss in the windows \Users\...Mulberry directory. So, I deleted that 
directory completely, and uninstalled and re-installed Mulberry. I 
restarted using a preferences file from one of my other PC's. At least on 
brief testing, SMTP seems to be working well.

I'll post a note if problems recur. In the meantime, appreciate all the 
suggestions.
