If you have a very old version
of Eudora, OR if you have a recent version of Eudora that was installed
over an old version, you may run into a problem where Eudora will not
download any mail from ChoiceMail One. Instead, you may see the following error
message in Eudora:
Logging
into Pop Server
There has been an error transfering your mail. I said LAST and then the
POP server said -ERR Unnown Command.
Also, if you look in the first tab of the Activity logs (Options | Show
Activity Logs), you will see an error message that says
-ERR Unknown Command LAST
This is a problem with incompatible POP3 commands. The LAST command was removed
from the official email standard quite a while ago and is therefore not needed
(and not supported) by many modern POP3 servers (including ChoiceMail One).
However, if you had a really old version of Eudora that used that command,
your more recent version of Eudora may use it as well.
To tell Eudora that it should not use the LAST command, you will need to
edit your Eudora.ini to disable the LAST command. Your Eudora INI
file is normally found in the same folder as your Eudora application
itself. Make sure that Eudora is not open while you make the modification.
Using a text editor such as NotePad (do not use a word processor as
you will completely corrupt the file), edit the eudora.ini file and
look for the following line.
UsePOPLast=1
Change the 1 to a 0 (zero) and save your file. Restart Eudora and you should
be good to go.
Note: Our technote on how to change ports in Eudora
contains more information on how to work with the eudora.ini file.
