I just installed M on an Irix 6.5 system but am unable to send any mail from it.
Whenever I attempt to reply to a message (I am connected to an IMAP server),
or to compose a new message, I get the error message:
Error: Cannot send message - network is not configured.
It asks me if if I want to reconfigure my network settings, but I can see
nothing wrong with those settings, which are:
POP Server: (blank)
IMAP Server: mail.hawaii.edu
Use local MTA [yes]
Local MTA command: /usr/lib/sendmail -t
SMTP server: (greyed out, as are all of the other SMTP fields)
Dial-up network support: (off, since I'm hooked up to Ethernet)
I didn't change any of the default TCP timeouts, but I don't imagine
they should apply anyway since I'm using sendmail. I also assume that the
NNTP settings have noting to do with this. I am not using SSL -- when I
tried to use it to download my IMAP mail, I got error messages that seemed
to indicate that my IMAP server does not support SSL.
Curiously enough, when I started M for the first time, it managed to send
test mail on its own, which eventually turned up in my IMAP mailbox.
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong here?
Two more questions:
(1) In the list of message headers which shows the subject,
source, date and size, the text from these fields are all run together
into an unreadable mess -- is there any way to leave any blank space
between these columns? I've figured out how to change the width of each
column and to re-format the date string to my liking, but the Subject: field's
contents run straight into the From: field which in turn runs straight
into the Date: field, as in
Subject From Date
Fwd: Re: blahblahblahblaYour Buddy <yb@e05/31/02 10:27
Ugly! Obviously the length of the strings shown in the Subject: and From:
fields can be very long, so simply making those two columns wider is not of
much help here. Is there a way to fix this, e.g., set a maximum string length
for these fields?
(2) When I reply to a previous message, the message composition window has
a To: field, which I can change to a Cc: or Bcc: field. How can I get the
program to simultaneously display separate To:, Cc: and Bcc: fields? There doesn't
seem to be any way to mail the message to a primary address, a cc address
and a bcc address at the same time. This can't possibly be true, so please
tell me what I am doing wrong! The problem is even worse when I compose a
new message (as opposed to replying to an existing message), as I do not even
get a To: field, but just a label that says 'No recipients'.
I usually (but not always) get a whole bunch of error messages of the form
Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkgc.c: line 689: assertion `gc != NULL' failed.
Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkdraw.c: line 90: assertion `gc != NULL' failed.
when I start the program, plus I always get the complaint that M does not know how to
convert to/from charset ISO8859-1. Does anyone know what these are all about
and how I can make them go away?
Thanks!
