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:

Welcome to Darwin!
[myapple:~] renee% telnet pop.swbell.yahoo.com 110
Trying 68.142.229.13...
Connected to pop-sbc.mail.yahoo.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK hello from popgate(2.33.3)
USER myaccount@swbell.net
+OK password required.
PASS xxxxx
+OK maildrop ready, 0 messages (0 octets) (0 2147483648)
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. |

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) |
