Okay, I'm running a setup that has worked for years, but my mother just 
upgraded their computer to Windows 7 with a full version of Outlook, and 
can no longer connect ...

So, I logged in via vnc and played around, and I'm getting the most odd 
results ...

If i put her login id as user at hub.org, the servers sees user at org ... but, 
if I do something like user at hub.hub.org, the server sees user at hub.hub.org 
... same if I do something like user at .hub.org, the server sees the whole 
address properly ... its only if I do the proper format of user at hub.org 
does it truncate off the hub. part of it, which doesn't authenticate ...

Everything used to work fine for her, when she was on XP, but I'm really 
having trouble with seeing this as a Win problem when different formats do 
appear to work properly ...

Everything else works fine ..  my iphone connects fine, my alpine client 
works fine ... so as far as I can tell, everything *should* work fine ...
