The problem is that the elog database does not allow for a copy of an entry before you make modifications (and therefore get a "draft"). This is actually very simila to other note taking programs. I use Evernote, which constantly synchronizes between devices, and there I also cannot go back to the version before I started making modification. What one would need is a version system (and Evernote has one), so you can go back to the previous verison, the pre-previous version and so on. But this requires a complete redesign of the elog database.

A quick and dirty solution would be to store the origianal entry inside the browser (using JavaScript). You could then restore the initial version with a "cancel" button. But this mechanism relies then on the browser. If you just leave the page, there is no way the browser can put back the old version.

If I edit an old entry, and do some mistake while editing, then there is currently no way to savely discard the changes.

The problem is that the entry will become a draft: if I close the window without saving, then the whole entry is gone: it will be converted into a draft entry. But the draft does contain my changes, it is not the originally saved entry!

The draft mechanism should keep a copy of the entry before I opened it in edit mode, and allow to go back to that copy. The edit form has currently the buttons "Submit", "Save", "Preview" and "Delete"; it should have in addition the button "Cancel", that just closes the edit window without saving the entry and even deleting the draft that was saved while the entry was modified. This should bring you back to the previous list view.

Is anyone out there in favour of this change?

Hi Xuan Wu,

Do you know about these?

You can use command to test your email service and your username and password. 

telnet your.email.host  25

ehlo hostname

auth login

(input your username)   note that:the username and password should be generaterd by command perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64 (“username”)’ 

(input your password)

Then you can test the server and username and password are right or not.

And you can set "Logging level = 3" elogd -v and see what is going on?

Hi Xuan Wu,

Nothing happen, I still got error. Do you have any more idea? I really confuse.

I can connect to server but cannot send

Do you have any more idea?

I use "SMTP username = <My_email_account>" without "@xxx" for my site. So you can try it like that. HTH
