Re: POP server problems, please help
Hi Apeface,
I'm on an Apple Powerbook G4 using Apple MAIL as my mail program. It's always been perfect until the last few days with this problem. I am, once again, getting the above "password" message constantly now, and can NOT access my mail anymore. It's like it is stuck or something.
I just tried to do what was asked of me earlier, and that was to go to the server via telnet. I did so using my Apple, and I got the following message:

I keep getting that ERR MAILDROP BUSY stuff, and now I can't receive ANY of my emails. I hope this helps. If you need more info, please let me know and I'll try my best to get it to you. (By the way, I put x's where my password is supposed to be because of posting the info here) |

| Well, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I sent myself several "test" emails. Finally, after re-entering my password several times, I received one of the test emails. SO....I decided to try the telnet connection once again. This time I was able to get in:

So, you see, sometimes it will let me in, and sometimes it won't. I sure hope this can be fixed soon. I appreciate your work on this Apeface, and all others who are trying to fix this. Oops, my MAIL program is asking me for my password again, gotta go, sigh. |
