Gandi.net Groups

Hi,

If I understood the Illustrated Guide correctly, the password 
for IMAP and POP3 should be the same as for Webmail access. 
Authentication fails with Thunderbird (IMAP+POP) and Eudora 
(IMAP). Is the connection encrypted? (TLS, SSL?)

Regards,

I was able to solve the problem.
Thunderbird's Account Wizard uses the _mailbox_ name part of the 
e-mail address to preset the user name used for server login. 
This _works_ well with the other accounts I have (POP3). But 
Gandi Mail really _requires_ the _full_ e-mail address. This is 
correctly shown in the Illustrated Guide; I simply missed the 
point. There should be a warning in the Guide, that the wizard's 
default must be modified. Eudora's Account Wizard played the 
same trick on me ;->

Since all zillion <g> IMAP server names
	IMAP.userdomain.tld
are mapped onto one server (mail.gandi.net?), the domain name 
part of the e-mail address is required to identify the mail 
storage allocated to each user. The same holds true for access 
via POP.
