Thanks for your replay
It was the firewall on linux. I had to add device to trusted devices and its 
working now.
But I have different problem. I cannot get Eudora 6 to work on Mac. Outlook 
is working fine everywhere but everytime i tried to download msgs from the 
server i was getting this error: wrong authentication. I have checked the 
password few times server and everything. I tried that account in outlook 
and it was working, any ideas what might be wrong with that ?
Thanks for the hints about debug. I`m sure it will be helpful at some point.
Mike
