We're having problems with the mail app sending mail.
Every link, support forum, etc. says to turn off authentication to fix the problem. However, HOW do you turn off authentication?!
Under Preferences-Accounts-Advanced there is the Authentication drop-down box, which has 5 options: Password, MD5 Challenge-Response, GSSAPI, APOP, and NTLM. I don't see an option for 'None' anywhere!

Help please, going crazy!! TIA
 
Preferences-->Account Information.

In Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) menu, choose Edit SMTP Server List...

Click Advanced, and in that Authentication menu you should be able to select None.
