Re: Email troubles

I am sorry I dont understand the reply?

Virgin never supplied me with an email. they had the sign up form with
@virginmedia.com and as requested I simply put a preffered name in front of that. I phoned support in Inida but they had no idea what a POP email system was nor the name of the incoming or outgoing server was.

I cannot cut/paste information from Outlook as the information is different

I have asked for this information how can I obtain it please?

Eudora has 5 boxes to fill in
1(Real Name)
2(Return Address)
3(Mail server Incoming)
4 (Login name)
5(SMTP server Outgoing)

I never had to put a name in option 1
Option two I put in MYNAME@virginmedia.com
3 I think is pop3.virginmedia.com
4 I put MYNAME
5 IPut in SMTP.virginmedia.com

I had trouble at my last ISP once and had to take out SSL option to NEVER USE SSL
The other options in that bit are:If Available STARTTLS, Requiree alternate Port, Required START TLS But I set it to NEVER use SSL and it worked for 6 years with never a fault.
I just clicked on check for mail a box comes up for passsword, I put new virgin email pass word and it cannot find mail server says the network is unreachable?

regards
Phil
