  • Talisman echomail

    From Mickey@21:1/156 to All on Wed Nov 3 11:32:33 2021
    Hi All. I've been trying to get Talisman to import/export echomail to no success.
    I can get Binki or Binkd to poll and receive mail, and the mail ends up where it should in the inbox. When Postie is started, the only log entry I ever get is,

    2021-11-02 14:40:08 ERROR: Timeout waiting for pid file...

    Postie's PID file is where it's supposed to be.

    Can anyone shed any light on this. My inbox is full of mail so I know I'm at least half way there. <grin>

    try deleting the Postie's PID in the data dir
    and then run ./posie toss again

    Initially,after this Postie started looking for its TOML?
    I had it in the root directory (I run this in windows), not in data. The mail was processed. Expect a huge pile of test messages from me. :-)

    sorry...

    Didn't work. :-(
    The mail arrives, Postie seems to process incoming but doesnt toss the messages into the appropriate message areas. Outgoing mail didn't leave the system.

    Onwards and upwards.
