Guest millpc Posted December 26, 2003 Report Posted December 26, 2003 Hi, i wonder if anyone else has had similar problem when trying to receive email. The phone says mail cant be received as your server does not provide a unique identifier for each message. Any help would be excellent. Posted from my E100 SmartPhone!
Guest skyrine Posted December 26, 2003 Report Posted December 26, 2003 many ISP's do not provide uidl's a unique identifier is generated by the MTA ( mail server ) when the email arrives on it. It normally consists of a random number plus the time of arrival plus the servers name. these are a requirement of RFC 1939 In order to simplify parsing, all POP3 servers are required to use a certain format for unique-id listings. A unique-id listing consists of the message-number of the message, followed by a single space and the unique-id of the message. No information follows the unique-id in the unique-id listing. The unique-id of a message is an arbitrary server-determined string, consisting of one to 70 characters in the range 0x21 to 0x7E, which uniquely identifies a message within a maildrop and which persists across sessions. This persistence is required even if a session ends without entering the UPDATE state. The server should never reuse an unique-id in a given maildrop, for as long as the entity using the unique-id exists. The problem is, it is NOT implemented by many ISP's Most email clients ( outlook express etc ) create a pseudo uidl file locally (i.e. outlook express creates pop3uidl.dbx) to work around this. I am not aware of any PDA's or the like, that use this workaround there are only 2 fixes. 1). Your ISP implements this functionality... 2). The developer of the email client you are using hack (proper use of the term, dont get excited..) a workaround.
Guest millpc Posted December 27, 2003 Report Posted December 27, 2003 Thanks for the reply. So i am guessing that there exists an email client for the spv. I shall look & post my findings... Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest millpc Posted December 27, 2003 Report Posted December 27, 2003 well talk21.com does provide this. outgoing server: out.talk21.com incoming: in.talk21.com I have an account with them from way back,however they are no longer providing NEW talk21 accounts, instead you get redirected to btopenworld, therefore i cannot provide a link for you. Although you may be able to find one through google or yahoo.
