    SJ Motew - 2006-02-20

    I am having continual problems with login.  Currently am set under "DETECT" server-type and the pop3 server is found ok, but when I enter the appropriate password, it is denied.

    +OK POP3 mydomain.com 2004.89mdk server ready
    -> USER sjmo2@mydomain.com
    OK User name accepted, password please
    -> PASS ****
    <- -ERR Bad login

    Have also tried "ONE-FOR-ALL" with no success.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

      If you telnet to the POP3 server (on port pop3) and issue a:

          USER sjmo2@mydomain.com
          PASS <whatever your password is>

      does it succeed? I am guessing that the addition of your domain name with your userID may not be what the POP3 server is expecting.

      Are you using your email address as the login name or your server accounts name?  For example my email address is contact@blah.com but my login is actually myserverlogin@blah.com and the password for that server.  I am running a linux fedora server with sendmail.
