Hi Rafael, (OS - Mandrake 8.1)
Thanks for your detail information. I used pop3 server and I repeated numerous configuration on Kmail settings as follows ; (I skip Sending Mail configuration which has no problem) INCOMING MAIL Account Type Pop Account under "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 Under "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" In another PC running Win ME, I configure Eudora with the same settings and password. It works fine without problem. My Mandrake 8.1 was not very stable. I encountered lot of difficulties to install it from the CDs which were burnt from the ISO Images downloaded from website (md5sum matched). Now PS/2 port is still not working and I have to connect the mouse to serial port. Later I found "telnet" client command missing from "bash" and I have RPM it. But Kmail sitll could not download emails from ISP server with the same warning pop-up. From Konsole window I typed "telnet pop.aaa.net 110" (also tried aaa.net without "pop") with same result as follows; Trying xxx.x.xxx.xxx ... Connected to smtp01.aaa.net (xxx.x.xxx.xxx) Escape character is ' ^] ' + OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> When I typed either "login" or "password" it prompted _ERR. authorization first. I tried to locate the log file but could not discover it. Have you had any recommendation ? Thanks in advance. B.R.
