Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group. In GNU Emacs 21.2.2 (i386-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2003-02-12 on raven, modified by Debian configured using `configure i386-linux --prefix=/usr --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-pop=yes --with-x=yes --with-x-toolkit=athena --without-gif' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: C locale-coding-system: nil default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I use two different POP accounts for my email (sometimes I even use a third account as well). I specify my accounts in the list rmail-primary-inbox-list: (setq rmail-primary-inbox-list '("po:bijan@psq.com:pop.psq.com" "po:trustno1@crasseux.com:mail.crasseux.com")) Then I set the variable rmail-pop-password-required to t so that rmail will ask me for my password: (setq rmail-pop-password-required t) Finally I run M-x rmail Then I am prompted for a password. I enter the password for my first account, rmail then says it's gettign my mail from the server but then it says that the authentication failed. However if I only specify one of my two POP accounts in rmail-primary-inbox-list then I get my emails without a problem. This shouldn't be that difficult to fix. Simply use one password for each pop account. Or prompt the user with something like: password for bijan@psq.com: password for trustno1@crasseux.com: Thanks in advance, Bijan Soleymani Recent input: ESC x e m TAB a TAB r e TAB p TAB DEL DEL DEL DEL DEL DEL DEL DEL DEL DEL r e p o TAB r t TAB RET Recent messages: Loading /home/bijan/programs/elisp/insert-yow.elc...done Loading /home/bijan/programs/elisp/rot13-text.elc...done Loading /home/bijan/programs/elisp/insert-date.elc...done Loading /home/bijan/programs/elisp/eplay.el (source)...done For information about the GNU Project and its goals, type C-h C-p.
