Problem communicating via SMTP

Hi
I have an E52 and a 5800, both configured to connect to my work email system via IMAP and SMTP.
On both deviices I am able to connect to secure IMAP (993) to view my inbox. However when sending mail, via secure SMTP on port 587, the server is complaining that the device is sending the password in the wrong format.
I am unable to find any setting that will allow me to adjust the SMTP settings on either device.
I need to tell the devices to send a 'normal password'.
For comparison, I am able to make this adjustment with Thunderbird on this PC.
Any ideas, please?

I'm running Suse 10.3 and apparently it does not recognize my serial ports. So before
you can test your Java code you have to figure out how to make linux see the ports.
If I find a solution I'll let you know but if you find one first let me know. Thanks.

Problem communicating via Modbus TCP with Honeywell UDC3200

Hello:
I have to read the temperature of the Input 1 of this controllers. I've succesfully read the temperatures in the controllers. I'm using Modbus TCP/IP for the communication through the NI Modbus Library 1.1. I'm working on LabVIEW 8.5.1. However, sometimes when I open the connection, I get error 56 (timeout), despite that the controller responds to a ping. When I can initiate all the connections to the controllers, some hours after the monitoring has started, randomly, I get an error 66 (the connection was closed by the peer). This error interrupts the connection and the temperature readings stop. This is not acceptable.
Also, I've found out that if you don't request some data from the controllers in 5 seconds or more, also the error 66 appears. To solve this, I poll twice a second the controllers but the error 66 still shows up.
The controllers and the PC are interconnected via an Ethernet switch. The switch works well.
In brief, I can communicate with the controllers but the communication is not reliable. Sometimes when I start the communication I get an Error 56 and sometimes after the communication starts I get Error 66. It cannot be predicted when this will happen.
Why does the error 66 appears?
Has somebody communicated succesfully with this controllers?
I'd really appreciate your help, I'm running out of time.
Thanks in advance.

Using LabVIEW since version 7.0

Hello:
Thanks for answering Pedro. I've read the document you told me to, but it refers to problems with VI Server, the application is not using VI server, so I guess the problem comes from somewhere else. I still haven't figured out why this is happening.
About the Error 56, well, I'll try to slow down the communication, I'm not doing any delays after sending the information. I wasn't aware that I needed to do this.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion

I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion and on both my MacPro and my wife's Imac. I also see my mailboxes randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. Any other ideas of a possible cause?

I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
Now all is working.

HELP! HELP! Please.... Cannot send email via SMTP....

Hi,
Not posted here before but this really is a last ditch attempt to get my email working. I'm at my wits end with this.
I reported a problem that I could not send mail via SMTP (with Outlook) last December (2014). I kept getting a message from the mail server stating "421 Too many messages". They guys on live chat tried for an hour to get it working, finally gave up and told me to use WebMail instead. Ok, that worked but... in January that went off completely and I found that BT had removed my mailbox from the system!
It's now 19th March 2015. Today, (yes 3 months later) my mailbox finally came back online. At last I could catch up on all my lost messages, lost business and everything else that was important (yep all my old messages were THERE!).
BT support have been useless, in fact, more than useless. I'm abroad working at the moment and I've had to make many international calls to the UK to bitterly complain about this. They won't call me - they will only call a UK number so all the cost, plus the lost business and everything else is at my cost. So, webmail is working. I went to set up my Ouitlook client and guess what...? I have the SAME error message. The client is connecting but error is the same.
421 is a SERVER message which is telling me that the BT Mail server is not configured for enough connections. Either that or it's severely overloaded. This is BT's problem - not mine but all BT have done is fob me off with excuses for 3 months and now I'm back to square one. the support guys have no idea what this message means.
Today I was told that if I wanted it sorted I had to pay for BT Expert help.
What??? I don't need an "expert". I just want them to configure their server properly!
Can ANYONE - anyone from BT please, please help me to get this sorted. I'm tearing my hair out and as you may have guessed by now I'm also very angry about this.
I've tried making an online official complaint but that came to nothing as they told me as it was Outlook they couldn't help. Maybe it was set up wrong. It's not set up wrong - I'm a Network Engineer!! I've set up hundreds of Outlook accounts! The SERVER error message is like a big flashing sign stating that it's a BT issue. Why will no-one listen to me??? Why will they do nothing at all? This problem has been posted many times. Why is it not sorted?
Anyone???
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes of course I've contacted the Premium Mail help number. I've called them many, many times without any success at all and since I've been calling from abroad it's cost me a fortune to get nowhere.
These forums are for the BT Community. I'm part of the community since I still have BT services. This isn't a Broadband forum. As I've indicated though, I've been with BT for over 35 years so I think that entitles me to some sort of service - even from here if possible.
There is no issue with my account according to the BT staff. This has been checked and all is fine. The issue is that they are refusing to acknowledge that there is a problem although there clearly is one.
However.... your statement:
It also possible that you are being stopped from using BTs SMTP server, because you are not actually connected to BT Broadband. You would therfore be restriced to using webmail only.
... is new to me. No-one has told me that.
One has to then beg the question: "If you can only use so-called Premium Mail via the web then why are BT not telling people that?" No-one seems to know - even you Keith, say that "it is also possible...."
If this actually IS the reason then I could have been told that from the beginning.
Unfortunately, error 421 is one of the more "unspecific" codes generated by mail servers. This error can mean many things. It can show misconfiguration but it doesn't show up as a security lockdown - even though it could be. What I can't understand is why no-one actually knows. No-one can explain absolutely and that's what is really annoying here.
No-one will take responsibility and no-one is willing to even try to help me out here - that's what is really bad.
Keith, you've come up with something which makes sense that may well explain the issue - but the question is really: "What can I do about it?".
Nothing? I just have to put up with it? Great customer care....

There is a problem communicating with the printer.

I have a Lexmark Interpret S405. I am using a MBP laptop with WiFi, running 10.5.8. I have a cabled (non-wifi) Linsys router. I am using an Airport Express.
I was finally able to get the WiFi light on the Lexmark to be static green after reinstalling the Lexmark WiFi setup and reconfiguring my Airport settings so that both the computer and printer see each other.
In fact, I even updated the driver from Lexmark's Web site last night and I watched the WiFi light on the printer blink green indicating that the installation of the driver update was being communicated to the printer.
However, when I print, it opens the print window and says first "Looking for S300-S400", then it says "Printer is now online". Then after about 10 seconds, I get this error: "There is a problem communicating with the printer. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the computer. Delete or hold the job and try again."
I've exhausted Lexmark's technical databases and couldn't find the answer here.
I've read that one possible solution was to delete all the printers from the "Print & Fax" system preferences window and re-add. That didn't work.
Lexmark says for: The printer communicating on a network; however, the printer is not responsive. Possible causes could be:
1. Your printer is associated with a network, router, or access point, but it is not your network.
2. A software process is blocked by a system security firewall preventing network communication.
3. You are logged into Virtual Private Network (VPN).
4. You are connected to a network but have decided to switch to a USB connection.
I don't have a VPN and have removed the USB cable, then restarted both printer and computer, and deleted printers in Sys Prefs, restarted, and still no solution.
I can print directly via USB cable, but want to print wirelessly.
Lexmark also says to enter my PIN (which I have pulled out from the print menu screen on the printer) in the System. That tells me a lot...
Network settings on the print window on the printer also tell me Signal strength is 5 (excellent) and that I am on the network my airport is on.
Message was edited by: Macman17

I bet this is too late but...
Are you trying to print through the airport express wirelessly or the built in wireless of the lexmark? If you want to use the airport express, there is no need to mess with the wireless printing on the lexmark at all. The airport express will be easy to set up, all the wireless setups through the printers are a pain.

Schedule For option is set to be Schedule for specified user groups. The problem is that the emails recipients specified in the destination are Receiving as many copies as the user groups users. For example: if i have 6 users under "x group" which i chose at the "group Schedule For option" , each one of them will recive 6 copies of the report. if i have 3 users under "x group" each one of them will recive 3 copies of the report. hope i'm clear Enough. thank u.problem Scheduling via cmc,multiply copies are being send

Hi
Are you using the Job Server defaults for the Email - SMTP destination? I wouldn't use the "Schedule for" here unless you've got Universe Restrictions for these users and you're Multi-Pass Bursting the report.
Destination - Email (SMTP) untick the "Job server defaults" option
In the "To" field enter the recipient(s) email addresses - or get your email admin to create a group and then you can enter the smtp address of the group
Hope this helps you

Send Email via SMTP on E61i

Hello,
I dont get email sending via SMTP working.
The retrieval via POP works fine.
My provider GMX requires SMTP authentication and I provided all user and server information.
There is no specific setting for mail sending authentication in the E61. My old Communicator had that setting and there it worked fine.
Anybody knows how to solve that?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Managed to solve it myself:
At the "email connection setting - User settings" you put for "Send message" : "During next conn."
For GMX users you should also put the "Security (ports)" : "SSL/TLS", "Port": "Default"

What mail program from what kind of computer are you sending your email? It sounds like an encoding problem that would have to be solved on the sending end. If you want, send me an example of the kind of email which arrives as gibberish on your iphone (tom at bluesky dot org).

Problem communicating with Airport express

I have had a smal home network for some time. Set up is AEBS, AXBS as client to use airtunes to the stereo, an iMac that connects via wire to the AEBS, and a wireless Macbook. No security enabled. Today I was streaming some music, and burning some cd's with the macbook, when I noticed a very strange thing in the istat pro widget. In the network section it read in: 1 mb , out 104 mb. The computer had acted strange, as in very slow, so I freaked out and suspected someone was connected to my network and sucking info (or something) out of it. So I went ahead and enabled WEP security. Everything worked fine with the Macbook and the AEBS, even with the iMac, but I can't get pass a "there is a problem communicating with the base station" when I tried to change the settings in the AXBS. I tried to do it wireless and through internet to no avail...
I hope some onecan point me in the right direction
thanks in advance

2 Possibilities:
1) AirPort Utility on your computer has become corrupted. Delete the current application located Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility, restart your computer and then reinstall the application.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#airport
2) The AirPort Express device is not fully resetting to factory defaults due to an internal component problem. If you've tried the factory default reset a number of times and still can't configure the device, it will need to be replaced.

I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I am using windows 7 professional install disc. I can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

How to email reports via SMTP server FORMS AND REPORTS 6i and databse 8i

Dear All,
through reports builder reports are build but i need to email reports via SMTP server is it possible in 6i are not?if yes the how please rep asap

If it will be a scheduled report, you can create a batch file to run report with reqd parameters and generate it's pdf in a oracle directory.
Then schedule the batch file on oracle database pc, (thru task scheduler if OS is windows),
Then a email procedure will be required which will pick up the pdf from oracle directory, attach it and send mail.
Even the email procedure can be scheduled thru oracle job, but the OS batch schedule time and Oracle Job time should be handled as some gap will be needed between the two.
As for the email smtp procedure with attachments, you can find one in this forum or try googling it.
