Apple Mail setup for IMAP San.rr.com
Anyone know the SMTP authentication for San.RR.com? I'm also not well versed in Apple Mail client so I may be doing something wrong. I referenced below but I don't see SMTP authentication... My options are External, Kerberos, NTLM, MD5, and Password. Also, do I need need a IMAP path prefix ?

I fiddled around with the ports more using your resource link from apple. Port 993 incoming works for Apple Mail. It's 143 for Outlook 2016 for Mac. I couldn't get Outlook 2011 to send with the same settings but documented the fun here.
