Unfortunately, as the MUA is Apple Mail, that answer is hard to
determine.  Have I configured a login?  Sure.  have I checked "Use SSL"?
Yup.  Do those settings mean anything?  Who knows?

With our old mail server, it "just works"... after going through the
mail setup, we don't need to do anything fancy.  I can't help but
imagine that there's some other difference in the default configs.  I'll
have to dump the configs of both and do a diff and hope there aren't so
many differences I can't pick out what may be relevant here...
