------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-15 15:10 -------
I configured Mozilla mail for the account and it worked.
Next, I checked the settings in Evolution and tried receiving mail and
it worked.
The most likely cause would be my error. I made 6 revisions to my
password and other settings the first time, so I'm sure I tried the
settings that worked today, but an error on my part is still the most
likely explanation.
Otherwise, Compuserve has had some odd interaction over the past few
days, but that seems unlikely.
The problem isn't happening any more.
Cheers,
Bret

description:
An existing Redhat 8.0 system, Evolution is working fine. /dev/hda5 is /,
/dev/hda7 is /home, both ext3.
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.
