|
|
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
Resources :
Apple Mac OS 7.5.3 :

Apple Mac OS 7.5.5 :
http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html#system
Apple Open Transport v1.1.2 : here to download
Baton Mail v0.9.7.1b :
http://www.mythtech.net/baton.html
http://www.mythtech.net/Baton097.sit.hqx
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 ;
Baton Mail v0.9.7.1b :
Account : Default

Conclusion :
I hope this is of use to someone on the classic compact forum, since it's
taken me ages to work out how to get this to work without the "Timebomb" issue.
Look forward to your response.

Geraint |
