I did not try your patch yet, but your analysis seems correct. I can 
only see the definition of the method but not the implementation. 
Perhaps something in Pantomime changed? We should check the older 
version.

I have one very smart question though: I compiled everything on mac 
10.4 and run GNUMail on it and even (the same binary) on 10.3 and the 
SMTP "Check supported" works instantly and populates the menu! Good 
point, not? This thickens the plot.

Generally, I've used GNUMail on mac for 10 days now on the same server 
and postbox as I do on GNUstep usually and it is much more stable. We 
need to check. There is a lot of MACOSX def'd code. Some may be fine, 
but perhaps some can be made use the same codebase for both? 
Especially in CWService.m, but generally in GNUMail (taken in account 
that the GUI is generted differently, I want to change that in the 
long term, but not for this release of course)
