I would appreciate some help.

I am trying to get Sun's PC Lifeline mail program to play properly with a
POP2 server on our Sparc 1+.  PC-NFS is running properly on a Zenith Z-386/20
but I get errors from Lifeline when it trys to read mail from the server.

When I launch Lifeline, it properly tells me that new mail exists on the mail-
server and to press 'N' to retrieve it.  When I do this, it returns with
error LL101W  "Unable to log into server."  As the message screen suggested,
I verified that the passwords on the PC corresponds with the password on the
Sun.  The manual gives no addition help.

If I try to read mail from a Sun account having no password (its just a test),
I get a different error, LL105W "Protocol error detected."

I'm stumped!  On the PC we are running DOS 4.0, PC-NFS V. 3.0.1, and Lifeline.
The Sparc is running SunOS 4.1 and the POP server as supplied with Lifeline.

BTW, I can properly send mail from the PC to the Sun...go figure.


			Thanks,
