Hi STeven,

Many thanks for the quick work-around. The new MAPI option works perfectly.

patrick,

Mail servers can be very picky about who sends email and how. To help testing things download the latest version and check the IMAP selection (this is new) in the Email module dialog to instead use your current email client as an email sender. This might help to debug this situation. Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

STeven.

Is anyone else using the Email module successfully?

Thanks,

Cannot get email module to work

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:11:00 EST

Hello,

I was trying to use the email module with RR version 1.8.18.0 but I keep getting a "Could not login" error whenever it tries to fire up. I'm using Earthlink as my ISP and I'm using the same SMTP server (smtpauth.earthlink.net), the same port (587) and the same login name and password as I use with Thunderbird, but it still fails to log in. Earthlink does not use SSL for authentication. I also tried another SMTP server I have access to that does use SSL on port 465 but I got the same "Could not login" error.

I tried it without any SMTP info as well as the manual suggests, but after a delay I get a notice that my remote host could not be contacted.

Thanks!
patrick
