Title: How come weather on macenc never works?
#2
MacENC uses the free SailDocs service and relies on the OS X Mail application Preferences (Although any email client can be used to receive the GRIB) "GRIB Failed" message can usually be resolved by following these steps from the MacENC help ..

Request for GRIB fails on "Weather Menu"
- Make sure the Mac OS X Mail Application has at least one email account that can send and receive. The very first email address in the "Preferences" "Accounts" is used for the GRIB Request. Accounts may be dragged to change the order.
- Make sure the email account is not blocked in Keychain Access by following these steps:
* Launch KeyChain Access from the Applications / Utilities folder.
* In the search field in the upper right hand corner, enter the email address to find the password.
* [control] click on the password item.
* Select "Get Info".
* Select "Access Control" tab.
* Select "Allow all applications to access this item".
* Select "Save Changes".
* restart MacENCâ„¢.

MacENC uses mail protocol because many users are using XGate wireless email service with a Satellite phone at sea to request GRIB files.
