dates match up. my smtp is configured STARTTLS if available
This issue is NOT "resolved". I now have a box to "uncheck" (it wasn't checked to begin with after I reinstalled 2.0 Seamonkey), but the same error message appears, no matter the security status (including name and password checked or unchecked) in the server settings.
Should have added: not resolved using Mac PowerPC with latest compatible OSX operating system.
