Address is [e-mail]@mail.bellsouth.net.
Too many "@" for Mozilla to get mail. Netscape 4.7x worked OK and so does
Outlook express and Incredumail. Keeps asking for my password over and over
agian with no access to mail on server. I'm sure this is a Bellsouth thing!!
because of the extra "@".

Mozilla Mail should work fine with "@" in the mail account username. I just
confirmed that with the 2003050208 linux build.

However, I've read somewhere that bellsouth use only the leading username for
mail account username, maybe you can try using "tlego" instead of
"[e-mail]" as the username. (But I'm not sure, though, as you said it
works on OE and Incredumail)

I got a email from Tom confirming that the Bellsouth username is "username" and
not "[e-mail]" which the Bellsouth manual said.

Since it's not a bug in mozilla, marking it as invalid.
