Thank, Kartic
I actually tried doing it with several other accounts, notably mail.com and
netscape.com
When i do it with netscape the dialog goes like the following:
>>> POPHOST = 'pop3.isp.netscape.com'
>>> pop = poplib.POP3(POPHOST)
>>> POPUSER = "myusername"
>>> pop.user(POPUSER)
'+OK'
>>> pop.pass_("mypassword")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#5>", line 1, in ?
pop.pass_("123456")
File "D:\Python24\lib\poplib.py", line 202, in pass_
return self._shortcmd('PASS %s' % pswd)
File "D:\Python24\lib\poplib.py", line 165, in _shortcmd
return self._getresp()
File "D:\Python24\lib\poplib.py", line 141, in _getresp
raise error_proto(resp)
error_proto: -ERR invalid username or password
The username and password are naturally valid, but something else is wrong.
Do you know if Netscape also doesn't allow POP access? Is there a free
e-mail provider who does?
Thanks a mil,
Andre
