Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / July 2007Server not responding to Eudora, does to Mail.app
Seems that my service provider has just changed the email username format (without notifying me) so that instead of: Username: pd.news%dsl.pipex.invalid the login is now Username: pd.news@dsl.pipex.invalid But I can't get Eudora to connect to the server to collect mail. I keep getting the error "Server not responding". Just as a test I tried putting the account details into Mail.app, which was able to connect and collect mail no problem. I can't see any difference in the settings between Eudora and Mail. Any ideas?  SignaturePd > Any ideas? Turn on Settings -> Logging -> 'All bytes transferred' If that doesn't show you the problem post the log here.

Wed Jul 25 00:49:45 2007 26823168 16:0.24.29 Contacting pop.dsl.pipex.com (62.241.162.110)... 26823168 8:1.0.8 Server not responding. 26823168 8:1.0.8 1 26823168 8:1.0.8 {37:467} 26823168 8:1.0.8 "Server not responding. 1; " " {37:467}" 26823168 8:1.0.9 : 1 26823168 16:1.0.9 Looks like the server just doesn't respond. But if I then use Mail.app, I get mail from pop.dsl.pipex.com. All bytes aren't being logged though, because it must send something to contact the server, and that isn't logged. Maybe the initial contact request is broken somehow. SignaturePd > 26823168 16:0.24.29 Contacting pop.dsl.pipex.com (62.241.162.110)... > 26823168 8:1.0.8 Server not responding.

In your case it might be Eudora is not sending first packet? Try new personality? Try a new settings file? Reinstall Eudora? Cheers, Darrell SignatureTo reply, substitute .net for .invalid in address, i.e., darrell.usenet6 (at) telus.net > In your case it might be Eudora is not sending first packet? That's what it looks like. > Try new personality? Try a new settings file? Reinstall Eudora? Already tried a new personality, no better luck. Tried a new settings file, and it works. There's obviously something borked in my settings file. Probably about time I made a new one anyway, that's the same settings file I've been using since around 1996. It's a wonder it has survived this long. A few days ago I deleted about ten personalities, and I guess that's when the settings got broken. SignaturePd > > In your case it might be Eudora is not sending first packet? > > That's what it looks like. Yes. I don't suppose you have something like Little Snitch (good) or anything calling itself a personal firewall (mostly a bad lot, particularly Norton) that might be blocking Eudora selectively?

It has to be some kind of corruption in the settings file. None of my Pipex accounts work, but four out of five Gmail accounts work. There's not much consistency about what works and what doesn't, so it seems that the simplest thing will be to make a new settings file, and create the necessary personalities in it. SignaturePd > that's the same settings file I've been using since around 1996. It's a > wonder it has survived this long. My settings file was created in 1993, still there and working. Testimony to the robustness of this incredible mail application :-) Paolo |
