Can't authenticate to get mail from POP

Hi,

I am testing James on localhost on a Windows XP machine with microsoft 
loopback adapter installed
using : j2sdk1.4.2_13

Configured: POP to Port:111, SMTP to port 25

email address: user@localhost


Using Thunderbird:
I could send an email to user@localhost

But can't get mail. "It says sending of password did not succeed. Mail 
server localhost responded: Authentication failed.


Regards,
Stephen

Posted by Danny Angus <da...@apache.org>.
not really a lot of information there Stephen, have you looked at the
log files in
<james>\apps\james\logs ?

Are you, in fact, using the correct username and password?
Have you tried "user" without "@localhost"?
