I have dsl through AT&T. Thebat has gotten my other email accounts, including a few AT&T accounts and a gmail account. It seems to have problems getting to Compuserve (CIS). I have used TheBat for years on an xp computer. The method involved using a program called Stunnel to allow me to come into cis using the AT&T connection. It worked with occasional glitches where the log-on to cis would just sit there and finally timeout but they were rare.
I've now moved to Vista and the newest HOME version of thebat. I frequently cannot successfully get to the cis account. It works maybe once every 10 or 15 tries. It just times out. The bat log shows:
"Connected to pop.compuserve.com, port 110"
for the attempts but nothing happens and increasing the time for logon to 2 minutes has not worked. When it works, it usually succeeds almost immediately.
Here's part of this afternoon's log where it was successful:
"[13:01:09] C: Connected to pop.compuserve.com, port 110
[13:01:09] S: +OK NT POP3 Mail Server Ready
[13:01:09] C: USER username
[13:01:09] S: +OK
[13:01:09] C: PASS xxxxxxxxx
[13:01:10] S: +OK
[13:01:10] C: STAT
[13:01:10] S: +OK 6 172917
[13:01:10] C: LIST"
Ideas, anyone?
