Dear Anna, @1-Aug-2004, 15:23 -0700 (01-Aug 23:23 UK time) Anna said to Marck:
MDP>> Question : Is your account configured as a POP or an IMAP account? > POP. Do you have TB set up to prompt you for the POP password or have you stored it in TB? If TB is prompting you then maybe the correct password is not available for TB to use in the POP before SMTP setting.

Certainly NOT. Port 25 is the SMTP port. Port 110 is the POP port. Post Office Protocol (POP) is used to receive mail. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is used for sending. The workaround your ISP gave you was to do a login to the POP server using your POP credentials before sending messages using standard SMTP. That is: POP before SMTP authentication. When you say: telnet (my server name) 110 user (my username) pass (my password) Was the username and password any different from the normal username and password? If they gave you a different set to use for this purpose, the TB has a space in which to enter them under SMTP authentication. Since your ISP has been willing to ascertain that this "telnet" workaround was needed, perhaps they will be good enough to explain to you (and you can relay back to us) why standard POP before SMTP authentication fails to work for you. I really should.

Or do you. We're talking about the login details for your email settings, not the login to your ISP PPP access (dial-up). -- Cheers -- //.arck D Pearlstone --List moderator and fellow end user TB! v2.12.03 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 '
