Hi,
I despaired of getting any useful help from Netvision support on this
matter. Can anyone (Netvision or Barak personnel maybe?) shed the
light on the following effect:
I want to fetch my mail from Netvision while at the office, connected
to Barak via ADSL. I have a RH7.1 computer, normally running
fetchmail-5.7.4-4. I also tried downgrading to fetchmail-5.5.0 (from
RH7.0), and - G-d forbid, Outlook on Windows 2k.
Regardless of the POP3 client, the result - not always but most of the
time - is that I get authenticated (also confirmed by telnetting to
port 110 of the Netvision server), get the STAT and the LIST of
messages sitting on the server, and then get stuck on the first
retrieval util the connection times out. A typical fetchmail -v -v
log is attached below.
>From time to time it works, as I said, but most of the time I get
stuck, always on retrieval of the first unread message (I use "keep",
but it is the same after cleaning the mailbox, or when using
"fetchall"). It is not a particular message that gets stuck, either.
There is no problem on my home computer (RH7.0, fetchmail-5.5.0), with
a dial-up connection to Netvision.
I tried downgrading fetchmail to 5.5.0, I tried Outlook (desperation)
- didn't help.
I managed to convince numerous Netvision support people that there was
nothing wrong with my client setup. The latest statement from them -
this morning - was that there was some incompatibility with Barak's
ADSL. This is indeed the only significant difference that I see
between my home and office setups, but before I blame Barak, has
anyone seen anything like this? Any ideas?
