I’m using Mozilla 1.6 with several standard POP servers, YahooPOPs and HotPopper. In Mozilla I have(without trying to use Avast):
-regular POP accounts
servername = mail.qwest.net=110
-YahooPOPs
servername = 127.0.0.1, port 111
-HotPopper
servername = 127.0.0.1, port 112
I’m having trouble getting the right settings for the Avast mail scanner. I’m trying to get 1 account set at a time starting with a regular POP.
In avast4.ini : DefaultPopServer=mail.qwest.net DefaultSmtpServer=mail.qwest.net
In Mozilla I change the server settings to
server = 127.0.0.1, port 110, username = mylogon#mail.qwest.net
when I check for mail I get an error that it was unable to send the password, YahooPOPS was unable to logon.
Why am I getting a message from YahooPOPs when I’m using a different port? What do the settings need to be to get this to work, both for the regular POPs and YahooPOPs andHotPopper?
server = 127.0.0.1, port 110, username = mylogon#mail.qwest.net
when I check for mail I get an error that it was unable to send the password, YahooPOPS was unable to logon.
It's strange. Check if avast mail scanner really listens on port 110,
e.g. look to the file Avast4\DATA\log\aswMaiSv.log for errors.
-YahooPOPs
servername = 127.0.0.1, port 111
change to servername = 127.0.0.1, port 110, username = name#127.0.0.1:111
-HotPopper
servername = 127.0.0.1, port 112
change to servername = 127.0.0.1, port 110, username = name#127.0.0.1:112
I reran the mail wizard to set things up again and then started Mozilla and got the same error message from yahoopops. The settings in Mozilla are the same as before: server=127.0.0.1, port=110, username=mylogon#mail.qwest.net There are no errors shown in the log file. I haven’t changed the yahoopops or hotpopper settings yet.
