Are you asking generally about the email setup or this particular
section where I am asking about reducing the number count? If it's the
latter, then I would like to reduce the account number from 7. I
realise that it's not a significant number but it just offends me a
little to see a 'large' number when I only have 2 (to be reduced to 1)
accounts.

Update 2? I thought that there were 3 or more updates. The OS is at
1.0.2.5

As per my comments above where I said "I've created the account
countless times, both by ssh'ing in and doing it by the command line
and also by using the GUI."

Bear in mind that I *can* send and receive from the account using
Sylpheed under linux, and looking at the settings in that software, it
says 'IMAP4 - Don't use SSL' as it does for SMTP. No ports are
specified in Sylpheed.

In the email client on the phone, I have the same user name as Sylpheed
and the same server name. I have a different SMTP server name but
that's because I want to use this thing when I'm out and about and
hence I haven't used the landline settings which Sylpheed uses. But
sending isn't the problem as I *can* send from it. The IMAP server has
been defined variously as 110, 143 and 587. Why 587? That's because I
downloaded the settings the provider supplied for Outlook and Outlook
Express. It's currently set to 110 with no errors but no Inbox either.

Having said all that, I *do* have an Inbox on another account I've
created which uses an email address I also use on my Blackberry
Playbook. Hence my questions about removing accounts and checking
passwords. That synchronises without error.

I have also just replied to AL13N (alien at rmail.be) closing this thread
so we'll leave it there.
