Inappropriate?Livio, have you successfully sent using Postbox with your AOL SMTP server before or is this the first time you tried an failed?

Inappropriate?googling online for a solution Livio, I found several posts that said this means AOL is blocking your ISP.
Several reports say:
"AOL is blocking the ISP that is sending the email and that ISP has to resolve the problem that is causing them to be blocked."
another report said this happens when messages have a return-path header in them. -
Inappropriate?Hello and thanks, i don't think it's an ISP (T-mobile) problem as in Opera (latest version mail client) there are no sending issues with my AOL account, and i have the Outgoing mail server set up in excatly the same way as in PostBox.
But i have read about this 'Headers' issue thing when i did a search on Google also, i'm leaning more towards it being something to do with how AOL is seeing the sending email as it trys to go through AOL's imap service, there may be some element of the emails content that AOL's servers see as 'non-conformist'.
So far, form PostBox'es first setup, the AOL account is producing this error.
Any suggestions would really help.

Inappropriate?Hello Members, just a further update, i just gave sending an email form the AOL account, using the excact email addres i was using for my tests yesturday, and this time thee were no problems, it when through, i did not make any changes at all, very strange.
Could there have been a problem at AOL's end during yesturday evening, or, do AOL servers automatically make security adjustments when they see different mail clients are in use, and do this over the course of a given amount of hours? , who knows?
I'll see if it last, and get back to this post in a couple of days to report, regardless whether it's positive or negative, great mail client though, thanks alot.

Inappropriate?Just reporting back, sending is still ok, but there are other issues regarding my AOL imap account.
I've installed the new update beta 10, and now the AOL emails i'm receiving are showing complete blank pages when clicking on an email in the subject pane, older emails are showing correctly, but through my previous list of older emails theat i've received this problem is occuring on some but not others.
Is there anything to do or change to get the AOL imap account to work correctly again.
My GoogleMail and Hotmail accounts are behaving well, my only gripe is i can't find a way to purge delete items in the imap 'Bin' folder on the Googlemail account so they are gone forever, is there somthing i'm missing that i again need to change to get this 'Bin' folder to work correctly.
Again. any help would be great.
regards
EMPLOYEE
