Usualy with email you download all the mail from the mail server using something called pop3. This basicaly means that you have to download the lot from the server.

With webmail you are in efect looking at the mail on the server without having to download it. You can only use webmail via a web browser.

HTH.

I have been getting alerts from my monitor of the STMP service all afternoon - it's looking a bit poorly.

And I thought it was just me with a dodgy stomach today....

On a serious note, I have given up relying on my ntlworld account so much so that I have asked friends to use an alternative address.

Is there a problem in the Stafford area?

I keep getting prompted in Outlook to enter Network Password, even though its receiving the emails without me clicking OK.

Maybe Outlook having a moment?

I have set up a copy forward within ntl mail to another mail provider so I have an alternative way of reading stuff urgently. Bit of a housekeeping pain but since NTL have 'improved' their email service (didn't you know?) I felt compelled to 'miprove matters myself!

Yes, I have forwarded my email to Yahoo Mail for about a year. It works very well and is no trouble to set up. However, presumably for security reasons, they ask for your password quite frequently. It is also important to make sure that the Yahoo Mail cookie doesn't get deleted from your computer. Otherwise you have to supply all your log in details everytime you access your mail.

You have to laugh-we're only a day & a half into the month, & there are 2 entries on the Server Status Page, & guess what they both are?

ntl Home - All Packages - Mail Service (RESOLVED)

Ntlhome Internet customers using the Ntlworld Mail service may be experiencing problems accessing the service, this is because of a technical fault.

Our engineers are aware of this issue and working on a resolution.

This has now been resolved.

Still Outlook is bringing up the "Enter Password" dialogue box everytime a send/receive takes place. Any clues?
