------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-14 14:50 ------- Hi, I have been receiving mail via SuSE, then Redhat, for several years with this approach - on cable modem, and on dial-up. If something's not working, it's not working in Mandrake only. I don't know anything about "reverse DNS" (well, I do know DNS is Domain Name Service). If there's something for me to try, or to find out, could you tell me what to do?

Install Mandrake 9.1 rc2. Mount partitions as above, format /, leave /home intact, including existing Evolution folders. Create same users, verify user UID and GID are the same. Evolution runs, shows all existing mail messages, folders, accounts, etc. Try to get new mail. Evolution shows send/receive subdialog, no mail is fetched. Dialog is presented: "Unable to connect to POP server pop.compuserve.com. Error sending password: -ERR Failed to open mailbox bwaldow. Please enter the POP password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]" Enter the pop account password, repeat. Send/receive dialog displays for as long as the user will wait. Canceling it provokes the dialog quoted above again. Reboot, power off shutdown and restart, etc. all do not change the behavior. Switch to backup hard disk with prior existing Redhat installation. Evolution fetches mail without difficulty. Compuserve cannot be the problem, password is good. I will hold onto the Mandrake installation for a few days in case anyone has questions I could answer from it. I'm novice/intermediate - be verbose asking what you want to know. (But I am professional QA). Cheers.
