| edq 19/12/2004 4:53pm | Hi,
I am trying to set up iscribe to send emails. For some reason iscribe will not save my account password. Under the "send" tab in accounts there is a box for ESMTP authentication. I cannot enter my password without checking this so I have it checked. When I enter a password it is not saved; after closing the screen and re-opening it I find the password box is empty. I am unable to send emails. I have tried setting the "authentication type" to both all and login. I am using the final release of iscribe 1.87 which I downloaded from the zip file. Incidently, why is the zip file larger then the uncompressed file? thanks, Edward |

I suppose Matthew could have placed **** characters there when a password is saved, to settle the new users minds. If you have entered the password correctly and selected save, then you wont have to re-enter again. Open the 'Status' window and view the log, it should show if you are getting any attempts in connecting to your mail server. |
| edq 21/12/2004 12:59am | The problem was apparently with my yahoo email account; I sent some test emails to this account and there was a long delay in receiving them. For a while I thought the problem was with the iscribe setup.
thanks, Edward |
