This is on my old install.  

root@smoker / # find home/dale/.mozilla -name prefs.js -exec grep 
"mail.smtpserver" {} \;
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.auth_method", 1);
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.hostname", "mail.exceedtech.net");
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.port", 25);
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.try_ssl", 0);
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.username", "dalek");
user_pref("mail.smtpservers", "smtp1");
root@smoker / #


This is from the new install that I mounted on /mnt/gentoo, you know, like in 
the install guide.  LOL

root@smoker / # find /mnt/gentoo/home/dale/.mozilla -name prefs.js -exec grep 
"mail.smtpserver" {} \;
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.auth_method", 1);
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.hostname", "mail.exceedtech.net");
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.port", 25);
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.try_ssl", 0);
user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtp1.username", "dalek");
user_pref("mail.smtpservers", "smtp1");
root@smoker / #   

Well, this may explain why neither one works.  They are the same.  Does that 
look right??  I just thought of something.  My new install has two accounts, 
the dalek one and my new one rdalek.  Where's rdalek??  I'm going to change 
later and get rid of some spam, I hope.

I had to fill in the user directories since I was logged in as root.  Root 
don't have a .mozilla directory.  

I'm open to trying something here.  I'm going to check my brothers ISP in a 
few more hours.  If it works, something fishy at my ISP.  If not, I have a 
problem here, and no clue what to do.

Thanks for the help.  Keep those ideas coming.
