[General] Re: a question about SMTP setup and alarms

[Dan Steinicke]

Hi Shai,

Thanks for giving our experimentally usable version of Chandler a try. 

Some clarifications so we can answer your questions.  When you say that 
Chandler won't do the tests for SMTP setup do you mean that you are 
clicking the 'test' button in the accounts setup dialog and it is not 
giving you a response?  or it is just not reporting success?  If it is 
not reporting success what message is it giving you?  When I have had 
problems with mail settings I have found it useful to compare my 
settings in Chandler to the settings in another mail program that is 
working, have you done anything like this?

Could you give me a more detailed explanation of what you did when the 
alarm didn't work?  Currently you will only get an alarm when Chandler 
is running.  Was Chandler running when you expected to get an alarm.  If 
you create an event for tomorrow, set an alarm on it and then grab it in 
the calendar grid and drag it to yesterday do you get a pop up? 

Finally could you tell us what version of Chandler you are using?  The 
most recent end user version is available here:
http://downloads.osafoundation.org/chandler/releases/latest/#enduserwin.  
If your not at that version and you decide to upgrade you will probably 
have to use the instructions for starting Chandler with a new repository 
given here under the title 'Chandler won't start':
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Documentation/ChandlerTroubleShooting

Thanks again for giving Chandler a try,

Dan
