Email Woes

After a bout of frustration with our Mac and ATT/Yahoo email, I've finally gotten Mail.app to send and recieve mail.  The following settings should help anyone with the same problems I had.

• Type of Account:  POP

• Username: yourscreenname@att.net (you must keep the "@att.net" part on there)

• POP Server: pop.att.yahoo.com

• SMTP Server: smtp.att.yahoo.com

• Use authentication with proper username and password

• Enable SSL

• Change your SMTP Server Port to 465.

• The first time you send a message you should be prompted for your password, enter and save in your Keychain if desired.

This worked for three separate accounts I set up last night and no hiccups in the past 24 hours.

Jon's Close-to-Perfect Mojitos

I used this recipe last night and it got good results:

Place 5 fresh mint leaves in the bottom of a 16 oz. glass. 
Add 3 tsp. of sugar. Muddle the leaves and sugar together (about 10 times, you don't want to overdo it and start tearing the leaves). 
Squeeze in the juice from half a lime. 
Add 2 shots of clear rum. 
Add crushed ice (about 3/4 the way to the top). 
Fill the rest of the glass with club soda and stir to mix everything together.
If desired, garnish with a sprig of mint or a lime wedge.

Enjoy!
