I desperately need a second set of eyes on this. I think I am thinking too hard! I continually get authentication failed when trying to send voice mail messages via email on an Aspuire M with the Aspire Mail. But when it fails the IMAP 4 logs don't show the gmail server I have an account on but the AT&T / SBC Yahoo mail that is associated with the DSL
Should be a simple issue - Message unification on an Aspire with the Aspire Mail. I've only done 30 + times. I have 7 sites across the US all using the same mail server in CT no problem. I set up new hires/ changes / ,ail server changes / account changes - I always figure it out.
A THOUGHT*
I am not sure what version software is in the Aspiremail - what ever was current 3 or 4 years ago,
DESC
This Aspire M is on a residential ATT DSL. That has raised some issues so I set up a GMAIL account, tested it with my PC in outlook on site. OK
Check the DNS OK 8.8.8.8.
Set my PC to 8.8.8.8 and it could still send mail
Checked the gateway and IP - Correct, re-enetered any ways
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.21 : 23 (changed it to 192.168.0.21 : 24 and restarted)
Did a shutdown restart to be sure they stuck
It worked once at 2:16 pm today. Didn't change anything and the IMAP 4 Debug logs shows that it worked
It also worked back in November using an SBC/ATT/Yahoo Email account.
Set it up to a Mail server that has 7 sites all with Aspire Mails unifying through it. It keeps failing saying it is talking to smtp. sbc.yahoo.com  but that is not the mail server I am pointing to. When it works,it shows:
220 mx.google.com ESMTP d13sm28699141vdj.8- gsmtp mx.google,com that is the gmail server registering oK
