I switched to log in TF through a pay-for ISP and have no problems connecting. Okay. I *think* I understand what you're saying. I'm connected by broadband to Comcast.net. This happens automatically on boot, although I also have installed a little re-set icon, in case of a failed connection to Comcast.net. So far have had no need to use that. My e-mail is running through a domain in Indonesia. It could just be heavy traffic that was keeping me off--or, it could actually have been a problem in my TB!. I didn't think to check it out with telnet--but I've been reminded to do that, now, on this thread. So next time it happens--although I hope that will be never! :)--I'll run telnet and tell myself, Don't Panic. :) TF Therefore, no TB problem.

Log info on could not connect to server
Hello Everyone! Do any of you know whether a later version than 2.00.6 of The Bat! provides more information in the log than just the bare line could not connect to server? I mean, can any version of TB! tell the reason why, as in, for instance, quoting the server's response? In most instances, the Internet browsers are still available to me. It's just the POP3 and SMTP that are not functioning. Last night I shut TB! down and re-launched several times to no avail. Then I tried closing TB! and re-booting the computer. No joy there, either. After about 3 hours of trying (not continuously, of course), I gave up and went to bed. As I've already mentioned in two earlier posts here this morning. :) If my question is better addressed to tbot, I'll take it there. TIA for help anyone can offer me. :) -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 2.00.6 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.02.3 CE | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Log info on could not connect to server
Hello Mary, Hello Everyone! Well, my name is not Everyone but I'll try to respond :) Do any of you know whether a later version than 2.00.6 of The Bat! provides more information in the log than just the bare line could not connect to server? Mine is 2.01.3, as you can see below, and that's what I get when I can't connect to the server. I mean, can any version of TB! tell the reason why, as in, for instance, quoting the server's response? There is no server response to quote because you cannot connect to it. If you could connect but for some reason you could not login, the error message would be different. In most instances, the Internet browsers are still available to me. It's just the POP3 and SMTP that are not functioning. It may be that your ISP's server is down. Have you tried to call your ISP and find out if their mail server is up and running smoothly? Last night I shut TB! down and re-launched several times to no avail. Then I tried closing TB! and re-booting the computer. No joy there, either. After about 3 hours of trying (not continuously, of course), I gave up and went to bed. As I've already mentioned in two earlier posts here this morning. :) If it is the server being down or not responding, none of that helps. Hm! That coffee! :) -- Best regards, Miguel A.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Mary, I mean, can any version of TB! tell the reason why, as in, for instance, quoting the server's response? In most instances, the Internet browsers are still available to me. It's just the POP3 and SMTP that are not functioning 99 times out of 100 it's a problem 'at the other end'. If your Internet connection is working but it's only email that's not functioning the problem is likely to be with your ISP's mail servers.
