Lotus Notes Pop3 access

[kiperez]

We have a Lotus Notes server and I am trying to use the Pop3 module to access it to grab a message and save off an attachment. Unfortunately, I'm stuck at steo on - Connecting.

I'm using the same server as I do for the SMTP connection to send messages.

Do I need to setup something on the server?
Do I need to use a different method to get at the email messages?
What gives?

BTW... Thanks for the help on the Mime encoding stuff it all works now.

What module are you using to connect Net:OP3?

Yes.
I do
...
use Net:op3;

# Constructors
my $conn = Net:OP3->new("mylotusnotes" , Debug=>1)
or die "[err] There was a problem connecting to the server mailhost.noc.duncllc.com\n";
...
and it bombs!!

Of course that's a Lotus Notes Server... I'm trying to get access to another Pop3 server that's more standard.

mylotusnotes is unlikely to be the name of your lotus notes server, or at least a host name that is likely to be resolved.

Try

C:\>ping mylotusnotes

You could use the IP address of your Notes Server as well as the name mylotusnotes

Let us know if that helped any
