Hi, I use Eudora 7.1 and I have several katamail.com accounts but they
don't download the mails anymore. Unbelievable but true. I configured
them with pop.katamail.com and smtp.katamail.com
What should I do toget the mails again? Has anything changed in the
parameters? Thanks

Hello, thanks for your reply. I changed to "smtp.katamail.com" and "If
available, STARTTLS" but nothing changed. What a pity.

Hey, have just created a new account with "gmx.com". It is able to
check the emails but it is not able to send emails.
I configured it in this way:
SMTP SERVER: smtp.gmx.com
POP: pop.gmx.com
When I try to send an email I get this error:
ERROR Talking to SMTP Server (554 smtp205.alice.it Service not
available).
Why do I have this problem?
Thanks

What does katamail.com have to do with tin.it?
katamail.com belongs to tiscali.
tin.it belongs to telecom italia.

Hi Piet,
thanks for your reply. Sometimes I put another ser4ver when the
proprietary senrver desn't work. When I put "out.alice.it" on SMTP
gmail server, it works fine.
Now I changed the settings to my "gmx.com" account, now I put
"smtp.tiscali.it" and "pop.tiscali.it", but it doesn't work again.
Maybe do I have to enter to the Tiscali web site and enjoyTiscali?
Anyway doing some search I'm noticing I have to choose 465 Port.
How can I choose the 465 Port in Edudora? I don't see this option.
Thanks

The recipient could have an alice.it address or some other address
for which the MX RR points to smtp.alice.it. The error message would
then be the one received in the on-the-fly connection by smtp.gmx.com
to smtp.alice.it (which itself could be a cluster).
The "service not available" could be the final result of a number of
failed attempts to connect to smtp.alice.it, but it could also denote
"mail is spam" or "sender IP blacklisted". The problem with 554 is that
it has always been (ab)used as a last resort where no other 5xx really
applies. The same goes for "service not available". The best explanation
I've seen sofar is "The transaction failed. Blame it on the weather".

Demis, after reading your suggestion I solved my problems.
I chose: mail.gmx.com and 587 Port. Now everything is OK.
I thank you a lot.
