Hi All People,

I tried several days but could not make Linux (RH 7.2) connected to ISP 
mail server to download emails via broadband.  The cable is permanently 
connected to the PC.  Starting Linux, broadband is automatically 
connected.  I can only send emails but can't download emails.

I tried both Kmail and Evolution to connect to ISP mail server with same 
result.  Each time when I clicked CheckMail, following warning pop-up

.......
.........
I said "pass <your password>"
And then the server said
"-ERR authorization failed"


Test on fetchmailconf

Fetchmail Test Result is as follows:

fetchmail: POP3< +OK <11300 [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


Test on   " telnet "   command

telnet     pop.xxx.com   110
Trying     xxx.x.xxx.xxx......
Connected to    pop.xxx.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Typing  "USER satimis"
it prompted
+ok

and then
Typing PASS  xxxxxx
-ERR authorization failed
Connection closed by foreign host

I only use English alphabets and number (0 - 9) in password and am absolute 
sure the USER name and password entered are correct.

With the same USER name and password I can connect the same ISP mail server 
in Eudora and Outlook Express to download emails.

Kindly help !!!

Thanks in advance.
