Versamail & NTL
 

I have versamail installed on a Treo 650 and am trying to set it up to pick up my NTL mail, but when I test the connection (pop.ntlworld.com), I get the following error.

The specified server is invalid or is not responding.
Cannot form a connection to the server.

Is this not possible, or should I be pointing somewhere else?

Thanks.

Newbie, :welcome: to Cableforum.

Sadly, I don't use NTL email myself, but somebody who does should be along soon.

Thanks for the welcome, but I've been here for 18 months :D

you can only directly access the NTL pop server from an NTL connection, however you should be able to access your mail using the webmail interface

http://webmail.ntlworld.com/

then input your user name & password :)

You sure? (maybe I should try it!). Just that I thought it was only outgoing mail (smtp.ntlworld.com) which had to come from an NTL connection. May be wrong, though.

I'm not sure, but trying webmail seemed like a good place to start ;)

- I'm always ready to be wrong - on the basis of there being no point in trying to avoid the inevitable :dozey: :D

Re: Versamail & NTL
 

You should be able to POP from any connection, it's just SMTP that's restricted to the ntl network.

OK. Even though the "Connection Test" gives me the error I originally mentioned, I am still able to connect and download the contents of my inbox.

Guess I should have checked this rather than trusting the Connection Test :dunce:

Sorry for posting before checking.

Thanks.

IIRC believe the connection test in outlook tries to send a mail to yourself, this will fail so probably what caused the error.
