Sorry for not having explained to you clearly. What I intended to indicate
to you was the settings made by me, the login and the password used were
correct. With the same parameter I can make Eudora in another PC to
retrieve emails from the same ISP (broadband provider). I did not use
Kmail or other mail software running on Linux to get email immediately
after turning off Eudora. There was no inter-link.
Fetchmail Test Result is as follows:
fetchmail: POP3< +OK <11346 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fetchmail: POP3> CAPA\r
fetchmail: POP3< -ERR authorization first
fetchmail: authorization first
fetchmail: POP3> USER satimis \ r
fetchmail: POP3< +OK
fetchmail: POP3> PASS * \ r
fetchmail: POP3< -ERR authorization failed
fetchmail: authorization failed
fetchmail: authorization failed on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fetchmail: POP3> Quit \ r
fetchmail: Query status = 3 (AUTHFAIL)
fetchmail: Normal termination. Status 0
Done
It did happen to me once about 2 years ago when I installed RH 6.2. The
password was encrypted making the mail server unable to recognize
it. Finally I fixed it but unfortunately I could not recall how to make
it. I looked around all items for configuring Kmail but could not discover
an item which may encrypt the password before sending it to the mail server.
Is there any difference between POP3 and POP ? My ISP uses POP in his
server. I used pop.xxx.net as host. pop3.xxx.net could not work.
