Virgin Media dont support Outlook
I have used Outlook (2003 SP3) for a month now. It integrates well with activesync and my smartphone etc. I like the advanced features (searches and .pst files etc)
I have just had a problem that MS say is down to my ISP - Virgin Media. I called the help team and they say they dont support Outlook - It must be the most popular email client in the world ...... They say use web mail !!!! ( How crap!!!!) I have made an official complaint but have not received any replies.... Any suggestions... PS after starting Outlook again the stuck email(s) in the outbox eventually get sent. its something to do with SSL and the port that they use for SMTP cheers - Duncan comments welcome ! (I've been with them for over 10 years now and are really getting fed up with their attitude) |
Re: Virgin Media dont support Outlook
Outlook is generally seen as a business application which I would imagine the business team support but since you are I am guessing a residential customer they will be expecting you to use Outlook Express/Windows Mail depending on your windows version. As far as I know SSL isn't supported?

Re: Virgin Media dont support Outlook
yes I am a residentail customer, Outlook came with my MS Office CD...
and I want to use it . much better than Outlook Express.... I still think that they need to have a rethink I was going to use them professionally for businesses I consult with but now I'm not so sure ... best bet to stick with BT ! any comments - Duncan |
Re: Virgin Media dont support Outlook
You used to be able to add a pop3 account to Outlook. I certainly did in Office 2000 when I still used Windows...

Re: Virgin Media dont support Outlook
Virgin Media and their business arm NTL:Telewest are different companies under the same banner and I think you'd find they'd support Outlook.

I get round this when a customer calls in with Outlook by finding out if they have one of the other supported email clients on their computer. I then help then set up say OE, get it up and running and then advise them to import the settings into Outlook, works in most cases. ---------------------------------------------- pop3 setup for NTL and TELEWEST Below are 2 step by step guides NTL @ntlworld.com settings guide http://www.virginmedia.com/help/supp...ngs_oe_xp.html Telewest @blueyonder.co.uk settings guide http://help2.virginmedia.com/help/ge...upinstructions This should help. |

Re: Virgin Media dont support Outlook
Outlook worked fine for me for years with a blueyonder.co.uk address. :shrug:

Re: Virgin Media dont support Outlook
Make sure you havent enabled SSL or anything along those lines

Re: Virgin Media dont support Outlook
outlook has never been supported by VM/ntl, iremeber the days when outlook express wasnt even supported, you are free to use it but you would not get help from the support lines
i take it from your post it is an issue sending emails rather than receiving them? |

As I said it works 95% of the time and occasionally I get a stuck email in my outbox |
