I have set up Lotus Notes 6.5.2 at home to receive my mails from my ISP with POP3. I always receive “unable to receive mail” messages on the replicator page. So I increased the log level for POP3. Now I can see that Notes establishes the connection without a problem. Here is what it does…
20.02.2005 22:11:01 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: GetMessageCount
20.02.2005 22:11:01 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: Connect: Host pop.bluewin.ch, Port 110, Use SSL: 0
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: ReceiveResponse: +OK POP3 PROXY server ready (Bluewin AG 7.0.035)
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: Connect: pop3 greeting -
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: Authenticate: User xxxx@bluewin.ch, Pass xxx
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: CommandUSER: xxxx@bluewin.ch
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: ReceiveResponse: +OK Password required
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: CommandPASS: xxx
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: ReceiveResponse: +OK 148 messages
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: CommandSTAT:
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: ReceiveResponse: +OK 148 6827972
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: ReceiveResponse: +OK 148 6827972
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: CommandSTAT: 148 6827972
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: CommandQUIT:
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: ReceiveResponse: +OK POP3 server closing connection
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: RetrieveMessages
And that´s where it becomes funny. Notes isn´t starting to show me those 148 messages or downloads them, but it just starts to login again.
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: Connect: Host pop.bluewin.ch, Port 110, Use SSL: 0
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: ReceiveResponse: +OK POP3 PROXY server ready (Bluewin AG 7.0.035)
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: Connect: pop3 greeting -
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: Authenticate: User xxxx@bluewin.ch, Pass xxx
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: CommandUSER: xxxx@bluewin.ch
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: ReceiveResponse: +OK Password required
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: CommandPASS: xxx
And then I finally get the response that says that I am violating the minimum time between logins. No wonder, because Notes is trying to logon right away after closing the first connection. (why is it doing that in the first place ? I simply don´t know!)
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: ReceiveResponse: -ERR [LOGIN-DELAY] minimum time between mail checks violation
20.02.2005 22:11:02 [07BC:0010-0FA0:wrepl] POP3Client: -ERR [LOGIN-DELAY] minimum time between mail checks violation: POP3 Protocol Error Returned
Does anyone know how I can tell Notes to only try logging in ONCE ? And does anyone have any suggestions why on earth it´s not displaying those 148 messages I have in my inbox ? I have used a pop3 display tool to see if the login and all that works from my machine. All is fine it´s defintly Notes that is causing the problem
Any help is appreciated.
