Hi...
Concentrate your problem about the 'Cannot connect-problem' and delay the Cannot-open-catalog....
A few question that I would have asked myself if I was having this kind of a problem.
Q1: What kind of mail-connection do I have? IMAP/POP/...
Q2: Is that kind of connection supported by email-engine?
Q3: Do I know the mail-server is providing the interface found in Q1? Checking with netstat -a or other commands on the relevant machine...
Q4: Have the mail-connection in Q1 been tried with a normal mail-client? Like configuring it with Outlook, Eudora or something like that.
Q5: Is the username and password correct towards the service in Q1?
I have seen such error caused by a non-started POP-service on the mailhost that email-engine was going to connect to.
Regards,
