 |
|
I have been using Fastnet pop3 for two year receiving email with no problem.
Currently When I connect the system logs off and will not let me retrieve
email.
There are no error codes. My test signals show the server connects then
disconnects. I as suspecting the authentication processes with my server
have changed and I am not sending a signal to the server to keep it
connected. Anybody have the same problems or know a solution?
The code for my connect button is below. Nothing happens in between unless
I hit my get message button that will no longer work because the server
disconnected me already.
if pop3.Connected then
try
pop3.Disconnect;
except on E:Exception do
connectBtn.Caption := 'Failed';
end
else
try
pop3.Host := Edit1.Text;
pop3.UserID := Edit2.Text;
pop3.Password := Edit3.Text;
connectSuccess := false;
connectFailed := false;
pop3.Connect;
except on E:Exception do
begin
connectBtn.Caption := 'Failed';
connectFailed := true;
end;
end;
It should be noted that I used Fastnet SMTP but had to scrap it for indy a
couple months ago when my server required smptauth instead of smpt. It
turns out that I need to log in, send one message then log off. If I try to
send multiple messages with one log the server times out. Anybody know why
that happens?
Thanks Roger

Have you tried using a packet sniffer yet to view the actual conversation
between TNMPOP3 and the server?

Don't use FastNet to begin with. It has a long history of being buggy and
problematic.

Why not use Indy for your POP3 access as well?

I did not want to change the pop to indy because the program is integrated
requiring extensive recoding to idMessage. Also it worked for years until
just today.
I guess I will just need to bite the bullet but with no idea if it is the
Fastnet or the ISP that I think was reprogrammed and it may not work after
the switch to indy.

That is why I mentioned looking at the actual conversation data first.

At least Indy is still being maintained and supported though.
