Re: Help setting up POP3 email (rmail)

[cptvlaze]

Following your code, emacs will return me the following error:

At startup:

'load-with-code-conversion: Symbol's value as variable is void: 
smtpmail-smtp-server'


...and trying to send my email, after asking me for my server username, email 
and password...

'smtpmail-send-it: Sending failed: 550-Requested action not taken: mailbox 
unavailable
550 Sender address is not allowed.'

Any clue?
