Hi All People,

REDHAT 7.2

I tried 2 weeks but could not make Kmail connected to ISP mail server to 
download emails via broadband.  The cable is permanently connected to the 
PC.  Starting Linux, broadband is automatically connected.  I can only send 
emails but can't download emails.

With the same broadband cable connected to a Windows box email software, 
Eudora or Outlook Express, it can connect the same mail server downloading 
emails

Each time when I clicked CheckMail, following warning pop-up

.......
.........
I said "pass <your password>"
And then the server said
"-ERR authorization failed"


Test on fetchmailconf

Fetchmail Test Result is as follows:

fetchmail: POP3< +OK <11300 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fetchmail: POP3> CAPA\r
fetchmail: POP3< -ERR authorization first
fetchmail: authorization first
fetchmail: POP3> USER satimis \ r
fetchmail: POP3< +OK
fetchmail: POP3> PASS * \ r
fetchmail: POP3< -ERR authorization failed
fetchmail: authorization failed
fetchmail: authorization failed on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fetchmail: POP3> Quit \ r
fetchmail: Query status = 3 (AUTHFAIL)
fetchmail: Normal termination. Status 0
Done


Test on   " telnet "   command

telnet     pop.xyz.com   110
Trying     xxx.x.xxx.xxx......
Connected to    pop.xyz.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Typing  "USER satimis"
it prompted
+ok

and then
Typing PASS  xxxxxx
-ERR authorization failed
Connection closed by foreign host

ping  pop.xyz.net also indicating the mail server connected but fail 
downloading emails because of password.

I only use English alphabets and number (0 - 9) in password and am absolute 
sure the USER name and password entered are correct.

With the same USER name and password I can connect the same ISP mail server 
in Eudora and Outlook Express to download emails.

I have tried selecting each and in combination of all encryption/secure 
items in Kmail setting but problem still could not be solved.

Addtionally I re-installed RH 7.2 selecting no firewall protection with a 
hope to solve the pending problem but ALSO met with frustration.

Kindly help !!!

Thanks in advance.

B.R.
Stephen Liu
