I can change the battery in the smoke detectors with the best of them.

Well the problem must be with the SMTP configuration portion. Something in that portion is not correct. That's the only logical possibility. I'd go back to the SMTP server settings, and when you get to the Primary Server field, click again on the server listing to bring up the details of the SMTP server. Ensure that host name is correct. Ensure that the user name is correct. I'd try both youremail@yourserver.com and simply "youremail" without the @yourserver.com. Enter your password again there as well. If you need SSL, be sure that it's turned on there. Be sure the port number is correct.

Be sure that you're using the e-mail address from the server you're sending from too. Meaning if you have 2 e-mail addresses, like joeblow@yahoo.com and joeblow@gmail.com, and you're trying to send mail using gmail's SMTP server, you have to provide the joeblow@gmail.com name and password for authentication to your SMTP server. I've seen people in that situation use another e-mail address, but SMTP servers will deny it unless it's an address from their service.

This type of issue is generally always a mixup of SMTP info details. There's very little else that would cause it to fail.

If none of that works, I'd delete the account from the phone, and add it again. You won't lose any e-mail or anything.

Operated CNC machines for 15 years. That industry has evolved a lot over the years. They basically want engineers running machines. I'm done with it.

I begin CDL training on the 28th.

I've been in my field for 37 years....I mentor all my Team members and am asked to speak at Industry Group Meetings and National Conventions. But the one thing I am sure of with all my experience, I still have a long ways to go.

Why did you switch? And do you like the change thus far?

I have been in my business for ten years+ . I pretty much know nearly everything there is to know about my part of the field. I do accept there are still some things out there I could learn, but I have a wealth of knowledge.

have 5 dwi's (all collected 20 years ago, had a bit of lapse)
don't care about the lines
|I am everybody's first source for questions

I am alright

was the best at what I did (in the 90's)
and what IU do is unwanted right now

Yeah, whatever...as long as there's a place to take a shit after eating those belly-bombs they feed us for lunch, that's all the knowledge I need.
Sec

I'm very good at what I do and have a different approach than most in my field. My issue is that Being great today doesn't mean you're good tomorrow, because things change so fast. Too many things in my field for someone to know everything.

Hell, today my new guys were showing me something I didn't know how to do.

I think any time you get significant experience in a field, it's not so much that you know which button to push every time, but have the know-how and the can-do that you know what you want to do and you can figure out a way to do it to get the desired outcome.

That's the difference between someone who is good and someone who is experienced and good.


I'm a life-long learner.

Honestly I don't think about it. I live by an old rule. If you have to tell someone you're smart then you're not.

So as a parallel if you have to tell someone you're an expert then you're not. Just do your shit, if you're good people will listen to you or ask your advice. That's your answer to if you're an expert.

I'm an expert at the things that I'm really good at, and I'm not an expert at the things that I don't know very well. My field has a lot of different facets.

I think "expert" is determined by your value to others not based on a self assessment. How often do people come to you for assistance? How often do they return for more advice later? If you're the local, regional, or national go-to guy for a particular subject matter, trade, or craft, you're an expert.

I'm an office manager and I would consider myself pretty damn good at what I do (especially) compared to the others at my work, but I know there are thousands of people in the rest of the world that would just annihilate me at my job. I'm the best where it counts though lol

well if that's the benchmark I'm the ****ing man lol
