Has this ever worked.. or just stopped working?

Does the base dc=misoft,dc=com,o=internet exist in your directory server (Server-LDAP.misoft.com:10389) ? Can you see the request on the directory side (access logs)? Are you able to ldapsearch that base and get a result (as directory manager)?

Hi Shane,

The password authentication dialog continually appear even with correct password, when i click Cancel, I got error .

I've just tested on other server. On that server, i setup Multiplexor and config with the same configuration files PopProxyAService.cfg ....

Result : Check mail OK !

Where did i go wrong ?

Thanks Shane

Ok, are you sure it is EXACTLY the same? Try diff'ing the files.

No idea, it would help if you actually answered the questions that I asked. There are a million places where you could have gone wrong -- the questions are to isolate this down a bit.
