mail retrieval error during mailsync with eclipso.de

[riz-ahmed]

Hi,

I would really appreciate your help setting up a not so comman mail that I am currently using with eclipso.de. I initially tried to add a new mail using the "mw -a <mail_address>" which just said "log-on not successfull". I then tried to add this mail address using all the options provided with "mw -h" as follows:

mw -a <my_email_address@eclipso.de -p -i mail.eclipso.de -I 995 -s mail.eclipso.de -S 465

I have used the -p option as eclipso provides mpop3 server for retrieving mails from an external mail client. This setup seems to be successful initially but when I try to run mailsync, I am receiving the following error on the terminal:

mpop: network read error: the operation timed out
mpop: error during mail retrieval (account <mail_email_address@eclipso.de from /home/user/.config/mpop/config)

I am running Arch with the follwing installation versions:
mailsync 5.2.1
mpop 1.4.18

I checked the firewalld rules, which I am using to setup the firewall rules and have ensured that mpop is not blocked on all public and home connections

I then tried to change the timeout settings from default 10 to a 20 in the .config/mpop/config file. That seems to be not working as well.

I must also mention that I am having no trouble loggin on with an email with gmx.de which uses the IMAP server to enable retieving mails from an external mail client.

At this point I am suspecting that something with mpop3 configuration is not setup the way it should have been to enable mail retrieval from mail.eclipso.de (995). But I just can't figure out what and how to analyse it further to fix this problem.

Can you please provide your suggestions?

thanks and kind regards
Rizwan
