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. B.R. Stephen Liu
