| |
Hi,
All is well with my shiny new account...except for email! It seemingly refuses to work, with server timeouts on test@tcfsellyoak.org.uk & tcfsell@tcfsellyoak.org.uk.
I can't see any stupid mistakes I'm making, so could you check that email is properly configured for that account please?
Thanks,
bogl |

What details are you using?
pop server should be mail.yourdomain.com and login details tcfsell+tcfsellyoak.org.uk you wont be able to connect to test+ as you haven't created that mailbox.

I'm using mail.tcfsellyoak.org.uk for pop3 & test+tcfsellyoak.org.uk because according to control panel I *have* configured it.

tcfsell times out too on pop3 check.
Perhaps I am doing summat daft, but I don't know what!

I just setup a test mailbox and had no problems collecting an email I sent to it via Mail (a Mac email program).
Do you have a firewall?

| That cracked it...it would appear that pop3 mail & my ISP's proxy server do not get on. Exclude my domain from being accessed via the proxy and all is peachy. Thanks for your help, prompt & helpful service even though the night (when do you sleep?) ! |

What's this sleep you talk of?
Glad it's all working for you!
