A few things: Do these: [C:\mptn\bin]set user USER=STANT [C:\mptn\bin]set hostname HOSTNAME=DP1 and SEND THIS TO ME. You have to make sure you tcpip email is set up properly. Ultimail does not seem to easily deal with multiple ISP connection addresses. In an OS/2 window type -> tcpcfg 1.) In the 'Hostname' tab what does it say your hostname is? 2.) Hit the lower right arrow to go to page 2. Do you have checked 'Look through HOSTS list before going to nameserver? 3.) Do you have at least one entry in the IP addresses window? If not try hitting add. Give IP Address = 192.9.200.1 Hostname = Hit add 4.) Go to the 'Mail' tab 5.) Choose Lan and Internet 6.) Check 'Enable multi-user mail for this workstation' 7.) Enter you Mail user id 8.) Put something like C:\TCPIP\UMAIL\MailStor for 'Mail storage root directory' 9.) Hit right arrow to go to page 2 and fill out POP mail info. 10.) Hit lower right arrow. Choose 'When using Ultimail' 11.) Fill in Reply domain (for advantis = 'ibm.net') 12.) Fill in smtp gateway Goto the 'Autostart' tab. 1.) Go down to sendmail. Check autostart, foreground session, minimized Quit this program and 'SAVE' If you made significant changes then reboot. ============================================================ By the way, are you having dialip use: ISP: 'Use IBM Advantis Dialer' so it is using the ibm dialer to connect to advantis? If so, try in an os/2 window: 1.) type -> start dialip -idadvantis_or_whatever -dl -debug (to connect) 2.) start ultimail 3.) send mail to yourself. 4.) then open the inbox of ultimail and have it read in your mail. If this works we know ultimail will receive your mail because it is doing it instead of dialip. If it does not then something else is not configured properly. 5.) send yourself another email. 6.) from dialip do menu mail -> Only Get Mail this should read the mail and download it to the directory you choose and then put it into ultimail. Since ultimail is open right now, When it does it you should hear the 3 beeps telling you it received new mail. If it beeps then ultimail received it If it showed up in your inbox, you are all set Else ultimail received it but put it under another ID and is not showing you its mail. Try to make sure you are getting into Ultimail with the same id name as the one you use with your ISP. 7.) tell me if this worked. 8.) email me the debug window output. (erase your password)
