Description Carsten Lohrke 2005-12-08 14:20:55 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

The usual error message goes along the lines "... failed ... server did ..."


Having multiple accounts on different servers, shall the user guess which server is the faulty one or throw dices maybe?

What error messages are you referring to? Do you have an example?
Comment 2 Carsten Lohrke 2005-12-13 17:41:54 UTC 
Varying pop3 server error messages i did encounter. E.g. when the server is not available. Also I had an account which always did support TLS - and still claimed to do, but the attempt to get the emails failed for a week or so and I got an error message about it, correctly telling me there's an TLS problem, but not which server/account is affeted. It's always the same: "Problem X with Server." instead "Problem X with server Y."
