Re: [newbie] Kmail cannot receive email but can send email
Well I do not know what to suggest. I fail to see how it could be the operating system. If you make the right responses to the mail server, then the mail server will send the mails. fetchmail: POP3 +OK 11346 [EMAIL PROTECTED] OK the server responded to the original query from fetchmail. I guess you missed off the first line of the dialogue when fetchmail introduced itself to the server. I notice the server name is smtp01.xxx.net This is surprising since it is conventional for the 'sending server' to be called 'smtp.domainname', and for 'receiving servers' to be called 'pop.domainname'. In the rare cases where the same server is used for send and receive they are often called 'mail.domainname' Make absolutely sure this is the correct server. fetchmail: POP3 CAPA\r When I tried on my system fetchmail did not make this dialogue. I do not know what CAPA means, nor do I understand why fetchmail did it. fetchmail: POP3 -ERR authorization first The server replies that it is expecting a login sequence fetchmail: authorization first fetchmail: POP3 USER satimis \ r This is a normal fetchmail user log on. The user name is 'satimis' fetchmail: POP3 +OK Now the server asks for password fetchmail: POP3 PASS * \ r The password is given. I assume you entered it correctly with the correct case. Hmmm I wonder if character set could have something to do with it Might be worth trying with US-ASCII. You don't have any 'exotic' characters in here do you? fetchmail: POP3 -ERR authorization failed Well it certainly looks as of your mail server does not like the username/password combination fetchmail: authorization failed fetchmail: authorization failed on [EMAIL PROTECTED] fetchmail: POP3 Quit \ r fetchmail: Query status = 3 (AUTHFAIL) fetchmail: Normal termination. Status 0 Done I still can't discover the failure cause. Netscape browser works properly. B.R.
