Try talking to the server directly to verify your password... I.E.
"telnet servername 110" I don't remember the POP commands, so you'll have to look them up yourself. But you can connect to the server and give it your username and then test your password. There is no doubt that the server is refusing your password, either you don't remember it, it's incorrect, or has been changed on you. -JMS |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Stephen Liu |Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 9:55 PM |To: Tom Badran |Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: [expert] Kmail cannot receive email but can send email | | |Hi Tom, | |Thanks for your advice. | |I used POP and repeated numerous configuration on Kmail |settings as follows ; (I skip Sending Mail configuration which |has no problem) | |INCOMING MAIL | |Account Type Pop Account |General Tab |Host pop.aaa.net (I also tried only aaa.net without pop) |Port 110 (defaut) |X Store POP password in configuration file |(also tried deselect this item) |X Delete mail file from server | |Security Tab |Under Encryption |- blank all items | |Under Authentication method |Tried all items | |Each time when I checked mail, following warning pop-up | |....... |......... |I said "pass <your password>" |And then the server said |"-ERR authorization failed" | |I tried numerous times and am quite sure the login and |password being correct. | |It did happen to me about 2 year ago.
