Hi Cliff

to cable Forum

emails sometimes get 'stuck' - using webmail to delete the first message in the queue, will more often than not sort it out.

let us know how you get on

thanks ..cliff

thing is - if it worked before, it shouldn't be a settings issue - monkeybreath works for NTL and is very helpful - I would PM him your username & let him have a look

hi monkeybreath
you have private mail

hi Cliff

I have just sent you 3 emails, one from my ntl account, one from my Gmail account & one from my hosted domain, but using NTL smtp server - it will be interesting to see if any get through

saw your reply, ho hum - I don't know what to suggest now, I can send you a Gmail invite if you want?

I wonder if monkeybreath managed a look before he finished work - guess we will have to wait till he gets home ...

no sad to say it still dont work .
could i change the incoming mail port ..it is set at 110 at the moment .
or can you think of anything else that might be wrong ..
i have tried switching off the firewall ect set everything i can to default setting but still just hangs ..
my pop peeper software will download the emails though and that got it settings from outlook express .so i just dont know what else to think ..but this has all happened since ntl was having trouble with the email system ..
maybe just a coinsidence then ..
thanks ..cliff

yeah i would assume the settings are ok - they worked before & if it ain't broke.....

Until you get evidence to the contrary, i would continue to suspect it could still be a problem at NTL's end.

Gmail is a free beta webmail service, run by Google, which offers a 1Gigabyte mailbox for storing your mail.

- as a downside it also displays adverts that are 'relevant' to the content of the email, that are automatically generated by the pop server. In fact these are not that intrusive - no more than the ones generated by a normal Google enquiry, anyway.

Users of the service periodically get the opportunity to invite new users - there is currently no other way to get a Gmail account.

If you want to give it a go, let me know, I will send you an invite.

no - not me - i don't work for NTL - monkeybreath, however, may have had a hand in it - or it may just be the earlier fault had not cleared throughout the network.

Main thing is it's working - don't be a stranger, now
