Pop3 authentification

Hello,

I just start pop3 service on the server and I’m trying to authenticate a mail client, but it does not work.

I have look to the server document for :

  • Internet authentification is set to: fewer name variation…

  • Ports - Internet Ports - Mail Pop: is enable and set to 110

I have look to the user :

  • internet password is set on the user . It is a valid registered user with an Notes ID

I can see my connection to the server with a netstat, but I cannot see any error on the console or on the server log

A “show task” on the server listed POP3 to listen and there is also a Control and Utility task

On the client, I get a 0x800ccc92 (probably a Microsoft error)

Is there something I miss?

Thanks for your help

Subject: Some info

I Googled the error code and found this Microsoft KB link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309216

The error 0x800CCC92 or error 0x800CCCD2 occurs when you try to retrieve a message from a POP3 server

which appears to be your issue.

after digging a little bit more, I found out that my problem was related to the french character in the username. I was trying with my name with no result, where there is two “é”, as soon as I test it with an english username, it work.
