Hi ,

the email client from the absolute beginners tutorial Nick Antonaccio works with sending.

I make a mistake here.




After the settings are complete sending is possible by normal input of the receivers e-mailadress in  (us...@website.com)    for example :   jessy...@web.de

Dont know what exactly to input in the field  (pop://user:pa...@site.com)      The own emailadress failed.   The own pop3adress failed.

Has anyone tested this little e-mail client ?


Regards

Hans

This is the error message that always appears when i want to READ the e-mails :

** Access Error: Cannot connect to hans-schueren.de.3C
** Where: open-proto
** Near: editor read to-url f/text

.3C  Error     I don't know what that is.

Username/Password and Servername i have checked out all variations.

Need help.

Hans,

How are you debugging? Are you examining the values of every field, to
ensure they are what you expect, and narrowing down the where the
errors occur?

It doesn't sound like anyone here is familiar with the script you're
modifying, or they might have offered help. You may need to step back,
start with very simple examples, and get some fundamentals down. That
will help when you run into problems.

Hello Hans,

there a few possible issues with sending mails such as the port number of the server or
more probably the sending protocol including security and authentication such as SSL etc.

Just to see where the problem is you can
add trace/net on
before you call send.

regards

Hello Hans,

sorry ,I got tricked by the title.

The same issues can also be when reading mails such as the port number of the server or
more probably the reading protocol including security and authentication such as SSL etc.


Just to see where the problem is you can
add trace/net on
before you call read.


regards
