Hi All,
Specific problem is that I could not send emails from my mac via virgin.
I have a wired/cable connection, had not changed any settings prior to the problem starting 20/01/12 & all settings were as they should have been.
On 23/01/12 I made 2 changes & was then able to send my emails but am a little concerned the changes are very wrong & will cause me other problems.
Changes made were, I unchecked SSL & set SMTP authentification to 'none' in the area for sending emails. A VirginMedia rep. in ?India would only keep repeating that I should keep the settings as recommended ie SSL ticked & SMTP authentication set to password.
Any input would be appreciated, thanks.
