Notes 6.5 as client on POP3 ISP server not retrieving messages (-ERR [LOGIN-DELAY])

Hello, I’m using Notes client version 6.5 to retrieve mail from ISP server using POP3 protocol. This was always possible using version 5 and same parameters (incoming and outgoing user & pswrds in local NAB, also same OS and ISP) during years. According to the log file, the Client connects succesfully to the ISP provider and checks messages’ existence then quit. Then it connects again in order to retrieve mail in within seconds which generates the following error messages:

“POP3Client: ReceiveResponse: -ERR [LOGIN-DELAY] minimum time between mail checks violation” and “POP3Client: -ERR [LOGIN-DELAY] minimum time between mail checks violation: POP3 Protocol Error Returned”.

I’ve already saw some questions on the -apparently- same subject, but no answers, which semmes strange to me, this one should be a quite “normal” issue.

Thanks for your comments and/or ideas.

Hello

I have the same problem with one provider. Is it possible to set a login delay time in notes?

Thanks for any help.

Using the R5 Private Edition and Windows 2000, I’m “experimenting” with the same problem since months. Today, I tried to use the following circumvention - and it worked (just once). I changed the priority for NLNOTES.EXE to “lower” and started a VBA-Loop in MS Access. Under this condition, Notes was able to establish the POP3 connect. After stopping the loop, the error was back again.As long as providers must use a request limitation for the protection against “denial of service” attacks, a parameter is needed to modify the login process with a delay defined by the provider. Or the retrieve process should be included in the same session as the “GetMessageCount” instead of logging out and in between the two operations.

I’ve been very happy to have the “business feeling” of Lotus Notes in my home office. I hope to see a proper solution here or somewhere else soon.
