Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / October 2005Eudora adding "pop" to e-mail address
I know I've seen this problem addressed somewhere, but I can't find it. And my copy of the manual is corrupted, so I can't check that until I dig up my backup. I'm using 5.1 under OS 9.2.2. I have an e-mail account that has both Web and POP access. I can log into the account on the Web with no problem, but when I try to access it with Eudora, I get an "invalid password" error message. My address is of the form "me@domain.com," my username is "me" and the POP server is "pop.domain.com." Eudora wants to check the account "me@pop.domain.com," which I think is the reason I get the error message. If I use the full address as my username, Eudora wants to check "me@domain.com@pop.domain.com," which doesn't work either. How do I fix this? TIA.  SignatureD.F.

You're right about the reason for the error message; the password doesn't match with the (nonexistant) username. To fix it, try entering your email address of me@domain.com, "me" as username, and "pop.domain.com" as the mail server in the Getting Started pane of the Settings--I think that will do the trick.

Shouldn't the "Getting Started" pane include the settings for the Dominant personality? The account I'm referring to above is an alternate personality. SignatureD.F.

Try toggling it on and back off; I think it's an OS thing--sometimes toggling a box makes it work again. sig -- Kathy - read reviews of other newsgroups in news:news.groups.reviews help for new users at <http://www.aptalaska.net/~kmorgan/> Good Net Keeping Seal of Approval at <http://www.gnksa.org/> > > > Settings > Personality Ports (this may require the Esoteric Settings > > > Plugin) [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Try toggling it on and back off; I think it's an OS thing--sometimes > toggling a box makes it work again.
