[opensuse] not able to receive emails
HI all I've got a real strange issue on opensuse 11.0 that has just started this weekend, i've had this operating fine for years.. kmail and opera can log into my ISP's POP servers fine (to prove it, I gave wrong passwords and the logins were rejected) but always comes back saying there are no new messages even though i can check via webmail that messages do exist in those accounts. My time is displayed is displayed correctly on the desktop (we've just gone back one hour). If i use windows outlook express and opera on windows, it download emails fine. Both machines are behind the same router. The emails also appear on my blackberry ok. I've tried this using 2 logins on opensuse, one KDE3.5.10 and one KDE4 (from factory) but using Kontact/KDE3 on both logins and the result is the same. Anyone have any ideas where i can look for help? thanks and regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think this will be an issue with your provider. Try an account with a different provider and the same sofware you are using. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Do you think an ISP will stop emails to a linux box? I've got another Linux box at another site that i will try. Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I've tested it from another linux box (opensuse 10.3 kde 3.5.10) and it works fine so its a problem on my home PC a nd not with the ISP. Any ideas where to find kmail logs or other logs to investigate this wierd behaviour? regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, sorry. That's one of the reasons I use fetchmail, it can create very verbose logs. You can try another mail client... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Have a look in ~/.xsession-errors At least kmail should log something in there Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Its resolved itself so its all working now. It must have been a problem at the ISP but i still cant work out why it would work with Outlook Expressand not with kmail BUT it worked with kmail from another network. thanks for the help Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
