Re: POP Server's Not working?
OK, you're probably thinking I'm smoking something. Now I have proof. Last night I setup 6 of my SBC/Y! e-mail accounts in Outlook Express that poll every 5 minutes, and turned on the OE logging from ~10:45PM to ~6:00AM.
Attached you will see the log file I edited that just shows the times and accounts of errors. I have masked the email addresses with ACCT1, ACCT2, ... ACCT6.
Here's a summary of the 7.25 hours on my 6 accounts I loaded for this test...
ACCT1 - 1 error
ACCT2 - 10 errors
ACCT3 - 9 errors
ACCT4 - 1 error
ACCT5 - 11 errors
ACCT6 - 10 errors
The good thing about OE is that it ignores the errors and doesn't popup a password prompt box like Outlook does. If Outlook didn't popup the box, I'd probably never know about the errors. |

| With the error you were getting there the "-ERR maildrop unavailable" that normally means the POP box is locked, Yahoo did have an issue last night and early this morning on some of their mail equipment, so it's possible your accounts reside in the trouble spot which could have given the errors you had, I don't see many in your log that had the invalid user/password error. Try it again when you can and lets see if the logs look the same or different, if it stays at the maildrop unavailable you may need to post in the direct forum so that they can help facilitate a trouble ticket on this issue. |

| Already posted in the Direct Forum, so hopefully we can get some resolve there. What's weird is my main account and ONE of my sub-accounts were fine, except for the temporary password error early in the log. But my 4 other accounts had errors 9 to 11 times at various times through the night.
Will try it again tonight. |
