Solution : After many hours of searching & researching , I have finally got the following hardware & software to perform SMTP authentication with Yahoo email ;
Hardware : Apple Macintosh SE/30 128Mb, 2.0Gb with Asante NIC Software : OS : Apple Mac OS 7.5.5 (Upgraded from Apple Mac OS 7.5.3 & Upgrade to Open Transport 1.1.2) Application : Eudora v3.0 Pro (Upgraded from Eudora v3.0 Pro to v3.1.3) Utilities : Baton Mail 0.9.7.1b Procedural Method : 1. Install Apple Mac OS 7.5.3 onto the Apple Mac SE/30 2. Install Apple Mac OS 7.5.5 onto the Apple Mac SE/30 (Upgrade 7.5.3 to 7.5.5) 3. Install Open Transport v1.1.2 onto the Apple Mac SE/30 4. Install Baton Mail v0.9.7.1b (Previous Version, Not Current Version) 5. Install Eudora Pro v3.0 Resources : Apple Mac OS 7.5.3 : http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html#system Apple Mac OS 7.5.5 : http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html#system Apple Open Transport v1.1.2 : http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Englis h-North_American/Macintosh/Networking-Communications/Open_Transport/ Baton Mail v0.9.7.1b : http://www.mythtech.net/baton.html http://www.mythtech.net/Baton097.sit.hqx Observations : I found that the latest version of Baton Mail 0.9.8.1b (Current Version) to be unstable & the 0.9.7.1b (Previous Version) to more stable with Apple Mac OS 7.5.5 & Open Transport v1.1.2. I have also noticed that when using Baton Mail 0.9.7.1b that when you select "Status" from the Pull Down Menu "File" & it displays the Status of the operation that Baton Mail is performing - You cannot select any other icons - My only work around was to select "Status" again & leave Baton Mail to bring up the Status Window. Also when configuring Baton Mail, I found I needed to enter the details into the Default Configuration & not use the Account Profile Configuration feature - which normally works, when running on Apple Mac OS 7.6.1. Upgrading to Open Transport v1.1.2, seems to allow Baton Mail v0.9.8.1b & v0.9.7.1b to run on Apple Mac OS 7.5.5, although the earlier version is more stable. Also I have noticed that when you upgrade from Eudora Pro v3.0 to v3.1.3, that some of the configuration entries are changed & therefore the confguration settings detailed below are applicable to Pro v3.0 & not v3.1.3 - Although if you are upgrading this will not be a problem, which it will be if installing v3.1.3 directly without upgrading. Configuration : The following assumes that you are using Yahoo Mail as the email (pop & smtp) provider, you will need to refer to your email provider & make appropiate changes to the configuration as required ; Baton Mail v0.9.7.1b : Account : Default Name : Default Mail From ID : [EMAIL PROTECTED] SMTP Server : smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk SMTP Port : 25 Auth Type : SMTP User Name : <username> Password : <password> Eudora v3.0 Pro : Getting Started : POP account : <username>@pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk Real Name : <realname> or <displayname> Connection Method TCP/IP Personal Information : POP Account : <username>@pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk Real Name : <realname> or <displayname> Return Address : <username>@yahoo.co.uk Hosts : POP Account : <username>@pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk SMTP : localhost Enable : Overlap POP3 commands for better Performance Checking Mail : POP Account : <username>@pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk Enable : Check for mail every XX minutes Enable : Leave on server for xx days Enable : Send on check Enable : Delete from server when empted from trash Enable : Overlap POP3 commands for better performance. Authentication : APOP Sending Mail : Return Address : <username>@yahoo.co.uk SMTP Server : localhost Enable : Immediate Send Enable : Send on Check Enable : Word Wrap Enable : Fix Curly Quotes Enable : Use Quoted-Printable Enable : Keeps Copies of Outgoing mail Toolbar : Disable : Show Toolbar Conclusion : I hope this may be os use to you, since it's taken me ages to work out how to get this to work without the "Timebomb" issue. Look forward to your response. Regards Geraint ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get? Store your holiday snaps for FREE with Yahoo!
