smpt after pop
Ben Bondinger
I just wanted to ask, if it is possible to use SMTP after POP with
Eudora 3.x?
Eudora should fist contact the pop3-server and sent then the mail with
the smtp server.
The e-mail provider GMX requires this.
It only works one time and next time I check mail he wants to send the
mails without connecting to the pop server.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help,
Benjamin

Hello,
yes, I did the same: I always restarted EUDORA, but I think this cannot
be the solution :-(
And I know the tool from the GMX site too, but I think that EUDORA must
be able to do smtp after pop.
Perhaps someone knows a "trick" or a way that can solve this f******
problem.
Thanks for your help and I hope to get THE ANSWER soon in this NG :-)

Yes, it's possible. If you configure Eudora to Check mail on startup, it
will contact your POP3 server. When you want to send mail, you can do it by
Checking Mail, if you've got Send on Check selected.

I take it your service provider uses this as an authorization technique
for the outgoing mail server; and you must connect to SMTP within some
set, brief period of time after closing a validated POP3 connection?
Apparently, when Eudora was written this technique wasn't commonly used.
I should think the simplest way to handle this would be, at:
Tools > Options > Sending Mail
to UNcheck both the options:
Immediate send
Send on check
and always use:
File > Check Mail
immediately before using:
File > Send Queued Messages
to send your mail.

could you please explain me what settings I have to change exacltly? And
if I change this setting Eudora always contacts the pop3 server before
sending the mail with the smtp server and not only the first time I
start Eudora?
The possibility to send mail via pop3 does not work.
Thankx for your help,

I found a solution for myself by using ICQ and I think that this can be
s solution for a lot of others, because I think that many people use
ICQ.
Then I inserted my pop3 settings in the ICQ-settings "Check E-Mail" and
told it to check for new mail every 5 minutes. These e-mail checks
always connect to the pop3 server and so I can send the entire time I am
online mails to the smtp server with EUDORA without any problems.
This solution is much more easier than using the GMX-program to activate
the account every time.
But perhaps someone has a solution that only uses EUDORA :-?

Hey! There's already too many users on ICQ for the number of servers they
have! Please stop recruiting new users! :-)

I enabled this setting already, but the problem is, if I wrote some
mails I connect to the internet and click on check mail.
Then Eudora connects to the pop3 server, downloads my mail and sends the
messages I wrote - no problem,
but then I write the answers to the messages I got and I click on check
mail again: now Eudora first connects to the smtp server and wants to
send my messages before connecting to the pop3 server.

But I don't want to enable this setting, because I am not connected all
the time to the internet and then Eudora asks me every five minutes to
connect. And perhaps you don't know how high the rates for a local call
are in Germany :-(

Is your computer in a phone booth?

Why that?
You have to pay for a local call $4 US ca.
John Tubbs
$4.00 for a local call? It's 35 cents in a phone booth . . .

I would be so happy if I could make jokes about this, but here in
Germany we have the German Telecom and the have the monopol on the local
calls.
I think there is no other country on this planet where we have so high
telephone rates for local calls as in Germany.
But possibly (I hope !!) there will change something, but this can take
a while (1 or 2 years :-( , but then it is allowed for private telephone
companies to offer their products, but the German Telecom with its
monopol will destroy these private companies and they will have no
chance I think.
This is a very sad situation. NO FLATRATES! AND yes it's right
$4 US --- ! PER HOUR ! ---
You can believe this????
I hate this f****** company!

the price is so high and this is not very cool, but I think this is not
the right newsgroup to talk about telephone companies...
