POP3 error

[philip]

Hi,

I have an error with NS Mozilla 1.7.5 email program; error I get is described here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Connection_errors_-_POP3
*An error occurred with the POP3 mail server. Mail server* /server name/ *responded:* /message/
(Where /message/ might be blank.)
* You specified the wrong server. The server you specified exists, but it is not a POP3 server.
* You specified the wrong port number. Ask whoever runs the POP3 server what the correct port number is.
* The server is down. This is usually temporary. If it persists, contact whoever administers the server.

I can not find the cause, also the message is blank.
So I found a way to debug it (site http://www.mozilla.org/quality/mailnews ... t.html#pop)

The job I run is:
set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=POP3:5
set NSPR_LOG_FILE=pop3_log.txt
start mozilla

The output reads:
0[273f48]: Entering NET_ProcessPop3 64
0[273f48]: POP3: Entering state: 1
0[273f48]: POP3: Entering state: 2

0[273f48]: POP3: Entering state: 29
0[273f48]: POP3: Entering state: 24
0[273f48]: POP3: Entering state: 25

I checked all the obvious area's: like POP3 server, port number (110), DNS=working, ..

ANYBODY A CLUE, WHAT IS WRONG?

Thanks,
Philip

Philip,

Volgens mij begrijp je wel Nederlands, dus antwoord ik hier in het Nederlands.

Eerst een opmerking over de versie van het programma:
de laatste Mozilla Suite was versie 1.7.13 en die is voor zover ik weet opgevolgd door SeaMonkey die inmiddels bij versie 1.1.1 is aangekomen. Nu is het verder aan jou om te bepalen of je de recentste versie wilt installeren of niet, maar ik wilde het allicht even vermelden...

Wat heb je als mailserver opgegeven ? Bij Chello heet de POP3-server mail.chello.nl (de SMTP-server trouwens ook) aldus www.chello.nl/Webmail/Help/POP_mailvoorkeuren/
