Does anyone have a copy of Baton Mail 0.9.1b (not 0.9.8b).

The current release of Baton Mail 0.9.8.b will only run on Apple Mac OS 7.6.1 +, therefore no good for Apple Mac OS 7.5.5.

I have tried running Baton Mail 0.9.8b & Message occurs.

I have been informed that Baton Mail 0.9.1b will work & solve the SMTP problem.

Hardware & Software :

Apple Macintosh SE/30 with 128Mb & 2.0Gb HDD + Asante 10BaseT NIC

Apple Mac OS 7.5.5

Eudora Pro v3.0

I am able to receive email via ADSL (Broadband), but not able to send email due to SMTP Authentication - hence the reason for using Baton Mail.

After many hours of searching & researching , I have finally got the
following hardware & software to perform SMTP authentication with Yahoo email ;

Hardware :

Apple Macintosh SE/30 128Mb, 2.0Gb with Asante NIC

Software :

OS :

Apple Mac OS 7.5.5
(Upgraded from Apple Mac OS 7.5.3 & Upgrade to Open Transport 1.1.2)

Application :

Eudora v3.0 Pro

Utilities :

Baton Mail 0.9.7.1b


Procedural Method :

1. Install Apple Mac OS 7.5.3 onto the Apple Mac SE/30

2. Install Apple Mac OS 7.5.5 onto the Apple Mac SE/30 (Upgrade 7.5.3 to 7.5.5)

3. Install Open Transport v1.1.2 onto the Apple Mac SE/30

4. Install Baton Mail v0.9.7.1b (Previous Version, Not Current Version)

5. Install Eudora Pro v3.0

Apple Mac OS 7.5.5 :

Apple Open Transport v1.1.2 : here to download

Baton Mail v0.9.7.1b :

Observations :

I found that the latest version of Baton Mail 0.9.8.1b (Current Version)
to be unstable & the 0.9.7.1b (Previous Version) to more stable with Apple Mac OS 7.5.5 & Open Transport v1.1.2.

I have also noticed that when using Baton Mail 0.9.7.1b that when you
select "Status" from the Pull Down Menu "File" & it displays the Status of
the operation that Baton Mail is performing - You cannot select any other
icons - My only work around was to select "Status" again & leave Baton
Mail to bring up the Status Window.

Also when configuring Baton Mail, I found I needed to enter the details
into the Default Configuration & not use the Account Profile Configuration
feature - which normally works, when running on Apple Mac OS 7.6.1.

Upgrading to Open Transport v1.1.2, seems to allow Baton Mail v0.9.8.1b & v0.9.7.1b to run on Apple Mac OS 7.5.5, although the earlier version is
more stable.

Configuration :

The following assumes that you are using Yahoo Mail as the email (pop &
smtp) provider, you will need to refer to your email provider & make
appropiate changes to the configuration as required ;
