CFPOP has been flakey since its conception. For some people it seems to work perfectly where as others have nothing but problems with it. Attachments and funky MIME types in a message can do this, if attachments aren't a huge concern in your application I would sudgest turning them off. You may also want to think 3rd party for this as well, there are quite a few options out there, one inparticular i know of is at www.stoneagesoftware.com in the freebies section (shameless plug).. It doesn't support attachments, and it isnt the end all be all, but it cleans a lot of problems the original CFPOP has, the java source is also included so ya can tweak it if need be. Other than that, there are again quite a few commercial products out there but from my experience with them they have a lot of the same issues, you may want to take a step back and re-evaluate your approach, if possible in your environment, you may be able to write a module for your email server to automatically populate the contents of email into a database or to a flat file that you can read in (with exchange for example, i know both are possible)..
Hope that helps, Nat -----Original Message----- From: Owen Leonard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 12:53 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFPOP unknown exception condition I know I've asked this before, but I'm desperate for a solution and need any help I can get. Folks are frequently getting this error when they use our web-based email: Error Diagnostic Information unknown exception condition unknown error while executing a tag. The log of the error in the server log looks like this: Unexpected exception while processing a tag with a general identifier of (CFPOP), occupying document position (32:4) to (37:39), while executing template file [email.cfm] .and the code in question looks like this: <cfpop action="GETALL" name="Messages" attachmentpath="#VARIABLES.AttachDir#" server="#VARIABLES.POPserver#" timeout="60" username="#VARIABLES.Username#" password="#VARIABLES.Password#"> I never used to get the error myself, but now it happens EVERY TIME when I test it on my local development machine. We're running CF5. If anyone has any advice, I'd be extremely grateful. --Owen ---- Athens County Library Services http://www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
