POP3 username issues
[1/3] from: webmaster::securesystem::info at: 21-Jan-2004 1:42
All,
I know that the form for pop3 access is [
pop3://username:[password--host--com] ], but my problem is that the username
is in the form [user--domain--com] (ie. [webmaster--securesystem--info] ). The
problem with that is I now have 2 @'s in my string, and I believe that
rebol is incorrectly parsing them. Any quick solutions or maybe I just
read something wrong. Thank you in advance for your help!
Sincerely,
Chris White

Maybe yours is different but the userid that I logon to my email is not the email address.
Check your other mail programs to see what they have input.
For Opera mail which I use, the user account is entered on the Account Properties page.
There is a General tab which has the mail address... which is what you are referring
to.
On the Servers tab there is a Username and password field. These are the ones that you
want.

in Rebol, there mostly is a quick and dirty way to do things, which works
most of the time, and a more elaborate way for the remaining cases. In
your case you should open the port directly, like this:
>> p: open [
scheme: 'pop
user: "your username"
pass: "your password"
host: "your mail-host"
]
>> length? p

>> close p
I hope that helps,
