[REBOL] Re: port none not open?

Bryan,
That's a bit confusing at first.
But the word none refers to the rebol value
none
It's not an attempt to confuse you.
The error reporting code looked to represent
the port in text. It found a none value, so
that's how it's formed.
How the port got to be none is another question.
I think when you requested the first mail
from the pop port, that causes some pop scheme
code to run. That code probably couldn't handle
the slash in the user name and the port was set
to none as a result of the way that code was
written. Since it was probably not written with
slashes in mind, the port is probably unintentionally
set to none.
I don't have a solution, but I still also recommend
using the way mentioned by G. Scott Jones to either
open or read mail.
mailbox: open [
scheme: 'pop
host: "itnisk.com"
user: "user/account"
pass: "password"
]
b: first mailbox ; etc.
Anton.
