Hello,
When trying to receive messages, I get an error "authentification failed". I can
however send messages. If sent to myself, the mail arrives online, but I cannot
import it to my local Claws account. My email server is posteo.net (posteo.de),
which requires authentification. Below the detail of setting information:
=================================================================
Server name: posteo.de
Username: yourusername at posteo.net
Password: Your personal password
Important: The connection to Posteo is always encrypted (STARTTLS, TLS or SSL).
The outgoing mail server (SMTP) requires authentication.
In case your email client asks: The password will be checked “normal” or
“plain”. The password can also be transmitted unencrypted, because it is
requested over a connection that is already encrypted.
The port settings depend upon the type of encryption:
Outgoing mail server (SMTP):
With STARTTLS using port 587, or
with SSL/TLS encryption using port 465
Incoming mail server (IMAP):
With STARTTLS using port 143, or
with SSL/TLS encryption using port 993
Incoming mail server (POP3):
With STARTTLS using port 110, or
with SSL/TLS encryption using port 995
==================================================================
I set it up with SSL and correctly set port 995 for POP3, but still get the
error. I also tried setting APOP but just get another error. NO idea what more
to try.
Thank you,
diniz
