In OE, click on tools/accounts then the 'mail' tab. Click on the account you want to change, then click on 'properties'. Click on the 'advanced' tab. There should be a slider bar called 'server timeouts' set to 1 min. Slide the bar along to your chosen time.

Hey, an email thread! Now I really feel at home.

If we're busy importing some of the suggested fixes discussed on the old nthw.com site, I can recommend diverting your ntlworld.com email addresses to another one, if you have one that is!

My email has been a bit hit and miss but i was told to increase the timeout and it solved the prob, just takes time.:)

E mail just gone on the blink after two weeks without problems, should I be annoyed at the loss of service, or just satisfied that it worked for so long.:rolleyes: :(

The most mail I'm getting is from this forum, about 600 a day. :)

Anything is better than nothing i guess, but i still get annoyed.:(
