[xmail] Re: POP3 Authentication error for Outlook 2000
Try unchecking the option to login using Secure Password Authentication. I believe OL XP supports APOP, but OL 2000 does not. If that doesn't help, try specifying the full email address for the user name: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't see why that one would be different between 2000 and XP, so I think it's probably the SPA setting. -Seth -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of William Denniss Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 3:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] POP3 Authentication error for Outlook 2000 Hi, I have just recentally installed XMail on our office linux box, and it is= =20 doing it's job nicly (as an SMPT server, inhouse emails, and connecting t= o=20 our offsite internet server using POP syncronisation).

The option you want to enable is on the 2nd tab of the account config my outgoing server requires authenticaion (something like that, I have the Spanish version of Office 2000. The option is NOT secure password authentication. You need not click the options button next to this option, the default action is to use the same username and password as the POP3 account. -Mensaje original- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] nombre de Seth A.

1) - I try both full email and just username, neither works. the username only works fine in OL XP and Kmail... 2) This check is not enabled. 3) I agree. but alas you have to give the people what they want.. :( The exact error message is: There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your User Name or Password was rejected. Server Responce: '-ERR Invalid auth or access denied'. I am assuming people have gotten OL 2000 to work with xmail before? Thanks, Will.

Are you sure it's an outlook issue and not just a general networking issue? Can those machines telnet to the mail server over port 110 using the same hostname as specified in the pop3 server settings of outlook? use these commands: TELNET hostname.com 110 USER username PASS password STAT QUIT that should log you in to the pop server, then show you the numger of messages and total byte count for that user. -Seth -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of William Denniss Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 4:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] Re: POP3 Authentication error for Outlook 2000 1) - I try both full email and just username, neither works. the username only works fine in OL XP and Kmail... 2) This check is not enabled. 3) I agree. but alas you have to give the people what they want.. :( The exact error message is: There was a problem logging onto your mail server.

[xmail] Re: POP3 Authentication error for Outlook 2000
there were a few factors I think, I telnet'ed on the offending computer u= sing=20 an account which I knew worked and got a sucessfull result, I reset the=20 particular user's password on the server, then deleted/added the account=20 again with a full username and making sure none of the SSL options were=20 checked and it all seemed to work - it was just a coincidence (because on= one=20 computer - the problem was fixed by OL XP) that led me to believe the=20 problem was with OL 2000, just stupid coincidences, sorry. But, now my office is running using Oulook and xmail - with the users sto= ring=20 their data on their personal computers as opposed to Microsoft Exchange. = I'm=20 not sure how many people here have had to deal with Exchange in their lif= e -=20 but I found it to be a total pain in the arse - services stopped working = with=20 generic error messages like General NT Error - then the database got=20 corrupted... I found several increadibly usefull tools that can be used = to=20 restore emails from an offline Exchange database (corrupt or not) -=20 unfortunatally they cost over 1.5 grand in Australian currency to buy. A= lso=20 - of course we can't upgrade the server because that would mean forking o= ut=20 over 2 grand for NT Server 2000. So instead of using the expensive a= nd=20 pathetic MS Proxy and Email services - we now use iptables and xmail :D -= =20 it's free and a damn sight more relyable (with real error messages when=20 somthing goes wrong which is a refreshing change). And the best part - t= he=20 users of the system are completally clueless ;) . So again, thanks. Cheers, Will. On Wednesday 05 March 2003 11:45, you wrote: Don't keep us in suspense.
