Hello,
All the pc users are getting this message very often. They use ms-outlook.
Mac users have no problem at all. Even more, when I try to check a locked
account (one that a pc can't read) I use a Mac, and the mac seems to
"unlock" the account as the problem disapears... ???
I have to say this is SIMS-PPC-18b9d14 and is running in classic Mode on a
OSX 10.3.9 iMac G3 slot-in.
All I had to do to make it work was changing
MAILSERVER=-AUTOMATIC-
to
MAILSERVER=-NO-
In /etc/hostconfig
Note that you will likely have no way for anything on the OS X side
of the machine to send mail out as a result, except direct SMTP to
some other machine. If you are happy with it that way and have not
had the stability problems others have reported for SIMS running that
way, that's a good thing.
I have two other SIMS running like this without problems, but their clients
are all macs.
Any idea ? What's going on ?
The Mac relationship is largely coincidental. Warren's explanation is
right on target: Microsoft doesn't handle session tear-down correctly
in its mail clients and SIMS sometimes doesn't notice them going away
improperly, and the result is that mailboxes get left open until the
old POP session times out.
