The "thomas@mydomain.com" (substituting "mydomain" with my *actual* domain, of course) isnt't valid username? That is the domain that I am using to check my mail when I use their "webmail" interface through a browser. I called them today just to confirm that it is the correct login for doing what I am trying to do and they said it was. You lost me there...can you explain this to me, please? > Where did that mail you did get go ? > AFAIK I have not received any mail yet...I made a mistake a couple of posts ago..I received a STATUS of 2 and assumed it was the number of messages. This was actually an error (as one of you pointed out to me). That problem was solved by changing the polling server to the one I orignally had, which is now at least attempting to connect to the server, but I am stuck on this username and password problem. > What's the output of: > > echo $MAIL ? thomas@www:/home/thomas> echo $MAIL /var/mail/thomas (**I have checked that directory after I fetch, just in case it didn't tell me on screen that the messages were received, but there has never been anything in that directory) > > and then what is the output of: > > ls -al `echo $MAIL` > > (ps, those are backquotes around the command) thomas@www:/home/thomas> ls -al `echo $MAIL` -rw------- 1 thomas thomas 0 Mar 8 04:01 /var/mail/thomas Let me know if this tells you anything, 'cuz I'm still stuck.... thomas > > > > __ > |<-----------------------|_72_Characters_Wide_|----------------------->| > Bill Schoolcraft > PO Box 210076 -o) > San Francisco CA 94121 /\ > "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v > http://forwardslashunix.com > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
