  1. Hello

    This error code corresponds to a syntax error or an unrecognized command.

    Make sure to check your email settings:

    POP server (e.g., pop.laposte.net) ---- for receiving
    SMTP server (e.g., smtp.laposte.net) ----- for sending

    Port numbers: POP -- port 110 (default)
    SMTP -- port 25 (default)

    Your credentials provided by your email provider, your password.

    You can check and send your emails via your provider's webmail interface (not knowing it, I can't tell you more)

      1. I had the same problem, error "bad chars in command," couldn't send emails.
        I completely uninstalled Incredimail, reinstalled it, and everything works like before.
        There you go, pretty blonde, maybe a solution that will work.

    2. What is your internet service provider?

      If it’s AOL, use their SMTP server:
      smtp.fr.aol.com port 25

      By entering your AOL credentials

      And maybe see you tonight.

        Just change your email account in tools, email account and it works perfectly. I switched from Orange to Gmail and it’s great, no more problems sending with Incredimail.

    4. Hello

      I'm trying to summarize the situation to clearly understand the problem:

      -your email software is Incredimail
      -your email address is an AOL address
      -your Internet service provider is Neuf ??

      your AOL email is IMAP type: to keep it simple, your emails and email folders are on AOL's server (smtp.fr.aol.com) and they load into your mailer when you open it and you are connected to the Internet.

      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      To access your account settings:
      tools --> accounts --> properties

      1st option: we stick with the Neuf server

      Tab "servers" --> at the bottom outgoing mail server--> check "my server requires authentication" --> click on "more settings"
      check "log on using" and enter the identifiers and password of Neuf and OK

      Go to the "advanced" tab and click on "default settings" (you'll see ports 143 and 25)

      2nd option: we switch to the AOL server

      In "server information" replace the outgoing server name with: smtp.fr.aol.com

      Then check "my server requires authentication" --> more settings --> check "use same settings as ..... " and then OK

      Go to the "advanced" tab and click on "default settings" (you'll see ports 143 and 25)

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      I hope I was precise enough in my explanations, and I based myself on the fact that there are no problems with the servers.
      (I tested access to both servers on port 25 without any problems ....)
      Once all this is done, things will become clearer.

      Keep me posted ...

      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      And I dare say, forgive my boldness, that being blonde is not a disadvantage in my eyes, but I'm not talking about computing here .......

      1. Il suffit de changer de compte email dans l'outil, compte email et cela fonctionne à merveille. Moi, j'ai changé de Orange en Gmail et c'est impeccable, plus de problème pour envoyer avec IncrediMail.

          0

            Password:--------------------xxxxxx is this my password to open mail?
            is this my computer login password?
            what is it??? ANYWAY TELL ME I DON'T KNOW
            In any case I haven't touched it...........I promise but I would like to know and understand!!!!!!

            INCOMING MAIL SERVER

            or check:

            Username: I DON'T KNOW
            Password: I DON'T KNOW (the same as above? which one? A NEW ONE??? TELL ME TELL ME....

            Can you hold on? IT'S HORRIBLE I AM REALLY SORRY FOR BEING SO CLUELESS

            1. Just change the email account in the tool, email account, and it works wonderfully. I changed from Orange to Gmail, and it’s perfect—no more issues sending with IncrediMail.

          2. The username and password are those provided by AOL

            We are arriving here

            Opening information for the SMTP server smtp.fr.aol.com
            I can check either:

            Use the same settings as my outgoing mail
            (I correct myself, it's probably "incoming" that is written --> yes that's right

            or check:

            Connect using: (please tell me exactly what to check!!!! I don't know!!)

            Username: I DON'T KNOW
            Password: I DON'T KNOW (the same as above? which one? a NEW ONE??? TELL ME TELL ME...
            --> You don't have to worry about that, it will use what you entered for incoming mail

            A very important clarification: I told you to use port 25 for your outgoing server, here’s what I saw on the AOL site

            Outgoing server: smtp.aol.com

          3. I will try to finish but I have to leave for work in 20 minutes

            WELL, THE NEXT PART;;;;;

            GO AHEAD
            ___________________________________________________
            SERVER PORTS NUMBERS

            Outgoing mail SMTP: 25
            Incoming message IMAP: 143

            If I type default usage, 25 is replaced by 587
            143 does not change

            THEN THERE'S A FOLDER THAT HAS NOT BEEN TOUCHED, I DON'T KNOW LIKE USUAL

            So can you tell me exactly section by section line by line
            what to write because I think I've mixed everything up, we need to start over
            I'm truly a disaster, but I don't know why I have confidence
            and I feel that we will succeed, I think you understood that it was very difficult
            for me..... A REAL GIRL, YOU KNOW

            HURRY, I'M LEAVING, TAKE YOUR TIME, I WON'T BE HERE during the day
            probably tonight, I'm eager to test everything you will tell me

            HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANK YOU THANK YOU AGAIN

          4. Let's start over from the beginning:

            In Incredimail: tools --> accounts

            In the email account window:

            You should have a line with ACCOUNTS: AOL (default)
            EMAIL ADDRESS: XXXXX@aol.com

            Click on "properties"

            A new window opens "AOL properties"

            tab "general":

            Account name: AOL
            display name: bedou (doesn't matter)
            Email address: xxxxx@aol.com
            ----------------------------------------
            step 1

            tab "Servers"

            server information

            incoming mail server: imap.aol.com
            outgoing mail server: smtp.aol.com

            incoming mail server

            screen Name: identifier given by AOL (since you are receiving emails correctly, leave it as it is)
            Password: the password (since you are receiving emails correctly, leave it as it is)

            check if you wish "remember the password"

            do not check "connect using a secure password"

            Outgoing mail server

            check "my server requires authentication"

            then click on "more settings"
            check: "use the same settings as my incoming mail server"
            OK
            ------------------------------------
            step 2

            Tab "Advanced"

            outgoing mail --> 587 (it should have set itself by default)
            do not check "this server requires a secure connection (ssl)"

            incoming mail --> 143 (it should have set itself by default)
            do not check "this server requires a secure connection (ssl)"

            Delivery:
            it's up to you, it does not influence receiving or sending
            OK
            ----------------------------------------------------

            If it still doesn't work:

            redo the steps replacing "smtp.aol.com" with "smtp.fr.aol.com"

            If it still doesn't work:

            step 2: outgoing mail --> 587 (it should have set itself by default)
            check "this server requires a secure connection (ssl)"

            If it still doesn't work:

            step 1: reset "smtp.aol.com"

            step 2: outgoing mail --> 587 (it should have set itself by default)
            check "this server requires a secure connection (ssl)"

            I won't be here tonight nor this weekend, except maybe Saturday morning.
            Good luck

            2. Hello,

              I've been using Incredimail since yesterday, but I can't send any emails. Receiving emails works fine.

              Here's the error message I get every time I try to send an email:
              500 5.5.2 bad chars in command

              My ISP is NEUF, and my email is of the type cegetel.net
              server data identical to Outlook (which works for sending and receiving)
              pop.neuf.fr
              smtp.neuf.fr

              DOES ANYONE HAVE A SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM OR AM I GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK TO OUTLOOK???

              Thanks in advance for your help.

              3. @kikiI had the same problem.
                My ISP was previously Cegetel and I had left in the properties of my outgoing account smtp.cegetel.fr which no longer exists today.
                You need to enter in incoming mail, the server of your ISP for your email box
                e.g.: pop.free.fr
                for outgoing, that of your current ISP
                e.g.: smtp.neuf.fr
