Cannot work with the online client of MessengerPro:
My Newsserver requires a LOGIN-name in the form user@xxxxxxxx I
cannot get the @ in the LOGIN-field of MessengerPro. Is there a way
around of this?
Which login field? I can use a login of that form with a POP mail box
using POPstar, with no problems.
It works with POPStar and Newshound as well. The hanicap are the
online-clients for mail and news which I have here. To use IMAP I can
forget at the moment total but I would like to use the NNTP-client of
Messenger Pro for news. This doesn't work, too, because I have to give
the USER in the LOGIN field. Now my user name is like gourou@xxxxxxxxxx
The LOGIN-field doesn't take the @-sign. That's the point. I'm looking
at the moment to find a way around this but I think (because of Newsbase
and Messenger 1.41) the problem is that the LOGIN creates a directory
for the storage and use the User-LOGIN as name. RISC OS can't create a
directory contains @ like "gourou@xxxxxxxxx". Do you understand my
problem? (Ok, I will try to ask the authors...)
Don't bother asking R-Comp: ask the developer directly on the mailing
list, as you should get a response that way. I suggest that the rest of
your questions would be best sent to the list, too.
See Utilities->Mailing List->Subscribe in the M-Pro iconbar menu.
I cannot use the online mail client, too. I have no idea why because
TapirMail is also still and good working so it should move on. I'm
just wonder what IMAP is because TapirMail works online with
POP/SMTP. Isn't it the same?
No: POP/SMTP and IMAP are totally different things. Messenger works
*offline* with POP/SMTP, and in this mode you need to use it with a
set of transports (either POPstar & NewsHound, or DialUp/NetFetch).
If you want to work online with POP/SMTP, you have to use TapirMail:
none of the other RISC OS clients will do it (as it's not a standard
way of working).
Unless you need IMAP support, you don't need the (more expensive)
online version of Messenger.
I don't need IMAP-support but I still have it here... tears.
As we have now discovered, it comes as standard with M-Pro 4 so you would
have it anyway.
