Hi, Marck, >> POP.
MDP> Do you have TB set up to prompt you for the POP password or have you MDP> stored it in TB? If TB is prompting you then maybe the correct MDP> password is not available for TB to use in the POP before SMTP MDP> setting. No, it's stored in TB, and we made sure the password is the correct one. MDP> Certainly NOT. Port 25 is the SMTP port. OK. :) MDP> The workaround your ISP gave you was to do a login to the POP server MDP> using your POP credentials before sending messages using standard MDP> SMTP. That is: POP before SMTP authentication. When you say: MDP> telnet (my server name) 110 MDP> user (my username) MDP> pass (my password) MDP> Was the username and password any different from the normal username MDP> and password? If they gave you a different set to use for this MDP> purpose, the TB has a space in which to enter them under SMTP MDP> authentication. We changed the password, but we made sure the new one was entered correctly in TB. It's the same set as for the normal user name and password. MDP> Since your ISP has been willing to ascertain that this "telnet" MDP> workaround was needed, perhaps they will be good enough to explain MDP> to you (and you can relay back to us) why standard POP before SMTP MDP> authentication fails to work for you. I really should. Ryan's going home tonight, but I'll try to make time later this week to call and ask them. (The day job will interfere with that for a few days!) >> I don't think so.

MDP> Now you have me confused. Or do you. We're talking about the login MDP> details for your email settings, not the login to your ISP PPP MDP> access (dial-up). Sorry--the login details for my email settings and ISP settings are the same (I have DSL). I have the "home" account, @qwest.net, the fastmail account (a Web-based account I have fwded to TB), and a third forwarded from a Web site. For each of them, I have TB configured to send through the "home" Qwest server, and to retrieve through the respective accounts, including the respective usernames and passwords. Is this more clear or am I completely misunderstanding you? -- Anna ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
